Fortunately, I already had a PCP appointment scheduled to follow-up on the pneumonia. I explained my symptoms to my doctor and she kept interrupting to say "I'm sure it's just viral", Finally, I just laid it out for her and said "You MUST look at my throat". She took one look in my throat and said "OMG - you have classic strep throat". She ran the strep test (positive of course)
I keep telling everyone that I am a one-woman plague. So work return is pushed back to Saturday but I talked with my director today and apparently, I probably qualify for some short-term disability. I did call my pdoc's nurse because I have become somewhat depressed and just wanted him to know what is going on.

I am sorry that you have strep throat....I have heard that it is very painful. Did she give you any pain meds?
I hope you get well soon.
