Strep Throat - ICK!

My throat has been hurting off and on lately, and for the past few days to a week; my throat has really been hurting. Mom suspected strep throat. Also, my stomach and head hurt a little bit every once and a while; which are symptoms of strep throat. Since the pain wouldn't go away, yesterday, mom took me to the doctor.

I haven't been to the doctor in three years! Or maybe it was five... I think it was three. Anywho, and then, it was because of an accident, not because of sickness. Anyways, the first thing the nurse did, was weigh me (I only way 95 lbs!!), then stick the popsicle stick on my tounge and look at my throat. Then, she got something (not sure what it was) and told me to open my mouth and say 'ah'. Then she stuck something in the back of my throat, and told me to keep saying 'ah' but I couldn't! I was like gagging I guess. After she left with the whatever she had stuck into my mouth, mom and I went into one of the rooms, and my throat hurt real bad for a while (cause of that stupid thingie she stuck in my mouth).

I got sooo bored in that room, I was peeking in every cabinet, opening all the drawers, sitting in the doctors chair, ect.. I kept saying to my mom, "Can I take one of these home?" She was like, "You have to ask the doctor". And I'm like, "No way, he'll think I'm stupid for wanting that black thing you put on that thingie to look into someones ear!" LOL. I was like, "I need a souviner!!"

FINALLY, the doctor (Paul) came in, and said that strep throat was positive :( Paul told me to sit up on the bed thingie-ma-bobber, and he looked at my throat, and said it looked fine. He said that most of the time, the throat looks fine even if the patient has strep throat. He got the stethescope out, and put it on my back in different places, telling me to take deep breaths.

Then Doctor Paul asked me, "Do you want 1 dose, or 10?" I didn't get it. Then he said, "That means, do you want a shot, or medicene?" I said, "I don't want shot!". So he wrote out a prescreption, and said we could get it free at Shnucks (sp?).

When mom and I went back to the front desk, Bobbi (the lady that's been working there since before I was born [and Paul has too]) asked me if I wanted a lolipop, or a popsicle. I said, "Popsicle" Then Bobbi said, "Go there *points* then go left, and their in the freezer" So I followed her direction, and WAHLAA! There were popsicles! I got a yummy blue one.

When mom and I left there, we went to Schnuks (sp?) to get my medicene. We had to wait 15-20 minutes, so I convinced mom to go to Wendy's and get 2 frostys (one for each of us). So we did. Yum yum! When we went back to the store, my medicene wasn't quite ready yet, so I looked at a magazine until the medicene was ready.

I have to take the medicene twice a day, for the next 10 days. It actually isn't horrible like most medicenes.

Well, That's about all.. so.. no! Wait:

I'm going to put a 'Random thing of the week' thingie on the top left part of my blog :) Ok. NOW I think that is all....

No! Wait! JK!
