I've been sick all week, as you know from my carrying on about my throat. DH and I have tickets tomorrow night to see reggae legend Jimmy Cliff. My pro con list isn't helping me.
Pros He's in his 60's and doesn't tour much Tickets were not cheap We have child care in place It's time with just DH It's Jimmy Cliff! He's part of the reason why D's middle name is River I will sulk for a long time if I don't go
Cons The show starts at 9, which is late for around here It's about 65 miles away and we will need to leave around 3.30 to avoid Friday traffic and then kill time Figuring out food will suck I'm not drinking which means I have to drive home We probably cannot resell the tickets. It is standing room only. I just don't feel good.
If your throat still hurts, do you think is an infection or strep? If you went to the doctor and needed antibiotics I bet you would at least start to feel better in 24 hours. Would DH have a friend he could take? Maybe you stay, keep your child care in place and you get some sleep.
OK, you guys are pumping me up, sort of :-) I need to Google to see if strep is possible without a fever...
Yes it is. Not that you have strep, but I used to get it a lot as a child. Twice my only symptom was crazy welts all over my. No fever, no sore throat, weirdest thing.
Do you have a CVS minute clinic near you? They can do a strep test really quickly.

Never heard of the minute clinic! I will look it up, thanks!
You can have strep with no fever or a low grade fever. Can you see in any little white dots on your tonsils in the back of your throat? If it is strep and you get meds I always felt like a million times better the next day. There is hope!

Not going :-( Not feeling better at all and DH sold the tickets for full value. He told me last night he listed them and I had a fit and stormed off to bed at 8:15 crying,lol, and passed out. We wouldn't be home until after 1am and we fly to the East Coast in a week. We have to all be healthy. jamaicam, I would send you in my place if I could. I'm so bummed but I just can't rally.
I am sorry you aren't feeling better Are you going to the doctor? Is the sore throat your only symptom, like no runny nose/coughing? If you would like to drink on your vacation you should get antibiotics NOW!

I was going to go the walkin this morning but DH let D and I sleep in and I already spent an hour there for her this week and I can't do that again. All the sinus stuff is starting a little bit. I'm having a hard time staying hydrated because D's croup is still making it hard for her to eat solids and she's nursing a lot.
