Two of my posts now through Posterous haven’t arrived. Boo. One was from about 5:30 this morning. Would have said:
Woke up tues. with sore throat. Lasted all day. Now still here and hurts worse. Cant get back to sleep. Hurts to swallow. 🙁
Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat. One of those dry sore throats that just annoy you. Some mornings if I have one, it’s because I slept with my mouth open or had some post-nasal drip down my throat; that sort of thing. Usually goes away after an hour or so. Yesterday, it didn’t. And since my job is talking on the phone all day, that was fun.
Went to bed and it felt the same. Sore, annoying but nothing huge. Woke up when Love’s alarm went off like 5am to things much worse. Now it feels “thick” like it’s swollen. And when I swallow, it’s like trying to swallow sandpaper. I’m of course panicked that I’ve got strep but so far, it’s just red in my throat – no tell-tale white bumps. And believe me, I’m looking. I had strep once in my life and it sucked.
The thing is, I don’t often get sore throats in general. Even when I get a cold I usually don’t get one. And I have no other cold symptoms either and this is the second day of the sore throat. Ugh. All I know is that this sucks and hurts and I want to to go away soon.
