If you recall, I made a post last year about my strep throat.
Well, this year, thanks to my friend/party host/birthday boy, it just might rear its ugly head into my throat once again!
You see, last week, I was a guest at my friend's birthday party at a Swiss Chalet, which he organized himself. I should have run back home when I heard from our other friends that he didn't sound well on the phone, but being a good friend, I stayed.
Turned out he had laryngitis, but still wanted to host the party instead of scheduling it for a later date, i.e. when he was BETTER. When he came, he was sitting across from me.
The rest of the party was uneventful. We had dinner, cake, presents, I picked up a used chicken bone and set it aside with the other bones (but I wiped my fingers afterwards!)
The next night, however, I was feeling feverish, and on Monday, I got a sore throat! This sore throat and coughing went on while I had my monthly "ow" and continues to this day.
It's gotten to the point where it's beginning to hurt when I swallow. I can still swallow, but anything too hard or large, and the lump in my throat complains.
My mom is going to check my throat again tomorrow. If all does not go well, it's the ER for me. But with any luck, I might not even need to see a doctor.
P.S.: Today my friend is hosting another birthday party, this time for two mutual friends. On Wednesday, when it became clear that I could not go, I told him so, and I reamed him out for not postponing his party until he got better.
