So after two days of having a sore throat and not being able to sleep last night, I went to the doctor. This is NOT something I would normally do because I have a fear of doctors, but I think feeling like my mom was there with me in spirit helped a ton.
I told the doc that I am afraid because mom had C-dif when she passed last week and loads of other health issues so I don't know what might be wrong. She said that C-dif is in the G.I. track(?) and that it couldn't be that, so she swabbed my throat and told me it wasn't strep. She told me she could do another swab to get me a definitive answer. She also told me that she would do the same thing in my situation. I seriously hope it's nothing major and I feel like a huge baby, but I NEVER get sick....NEVER.
I will let you know what I find out in about 48 hours.
