bitch, bitch, bitch

I really should rename this blog to Beth's Bitching Session. I am in so much pain I am freaking out. I have the Coxsackie Virus from Clara, who got it from daycare. She had the sore throat with lesions on the back of it, then the fever, then she was fine. I, on the other hand, saw the lesions, had the fever, and now my throat hurts so bad I can't talk. Not even over-exaggerating. I barley can talk above a whisper, and swallowing is almost out of the question. let me start from this morning. I was able to speak but my throat was worse then yesterday, so I called the doctor's office and the nurse said I have all the symptoms of this coxsackie virus (hand-foot-mouth disease) but I should come in just for a rapid strep test. I think, no problem, a quick swipe in my mouth and I'll be good. Besides I wanted to check to make sure it wasn't strep anyway, so I don't infect more people.

I go to the doctor and the lab tech was a BITCH! She JAMMED that thing INTO my throat and it hurt SO BAD! She didn't swipe my throat with the swab, she STABBED my throat with the swab. She just kept saying "say awwww" then when she was done she added, "you just didn't want me to get in there did ya?" Then, with a smirk, walked out. You have got to be kidding me. She made a comment on how bad my throat looked, obviously I was going to have some sort of reflexes on have a giant q-tip plunged into my throat. Now I can't even swallow. I think I may call the doctor's office tomorrow and file a complaint. It was completely unnecessary to have it rammed so hard. Who goes to the doctor's office to get worse? I would have been better off staying home. I am convinced now that she wasn't even an employee or it was her first day.

By the way, it wasn't strep.
