Complication

I had a complication today. During the night my throat was on fire, so I took some advil and went back to bed. A friend stopped by for a while this morning and by the time she left, I was wiped. I didn't have a fever, so I figured it could be no more than a sore throat leading to a cold. My mom called to check on me and she convinced me that if it was strep and it went untreated, the infection could spread to other parts of my body which is not what I need right now. After talking to Dr. Hoberman's office (hoping they would just prescribe an antibiotic), I was off to prime care and sure enough, strep it is. I laughed when the doctor said he wrote me a work excuse through Friday.

I am happy to have everyone home for the evening. Randy stopped at Hamilton El. on his way home and picked up dinner that was prepared especially for us. We so appreciate the meals, the cards, and all of the ways people have expressed their love.

Thanks for checking on me. I may have more info. after the post op appointment tomorrow.

Love,
Robin

  1. So glad you at least found another reason to laugh! The germs have just started to fly around Sandyview again this week.

    Take care of yourself!

  2. Only you would get strep throat when you're not even in school! I'm glad you didn't just let it go! I'll be praying for you to get some answers tomorrow and some rest tonight. Remember, as it says in
    I Peter 5:7 "Cast all your worries on Him because He cares for you."

    Love,
    Sue (& John)

  4. Dear Robin,

    You silly girl!! You never mentioned you had a sore throat when we talked this morning. I'm so sorry this "bug" found you. Hopefully with your antibiotic you will be feeling great soon! I'll be thinking about you as you have your post op appointment tomorrow. Hope all goes well. Thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and yours all of the time!! (Just let me know if you don't feel like company on Friday afternoon.)

    Love,
    Corla :)

  10. Robin-
    Praying for you today as you go over your post-op appointment and find the next path you will be taking. Praying that God will smooth your way, give your doctor wisdom, and that you will get some reassurance today. Sorry about the strep, but I can certainly see how you laughed at the doctor. Hanging onto your sense of humor will help you through this as much as any treatment the doctors can hand out!
