Toadwort is sick. He had strep before Christmas. He took the antibiotic, religiously. I know it's hard to believe, but he did. Apparently, he is afraid of strep. Good Boy.
Now, he's complaining of a sore throat again, and I've looked at it. Bleck. It's disgusting again. It turned the nurse and the PA green before Christmas, and it's not looking too good now.
It's bad enough that he actually called the doc's today and got another appointment to see them. He stopped here briefly, to tell me that they did culture it and sent it to the lab to see if there's something else besides the strep growing in there. Now, that's a comforting thought! NOT!
Anyway, my mother is now on a jag that he needs to have his tonsils out. Never mind that he rarely got sick as a child (even though he was exposed to just about everything that came down the pike). Nevermind that he's had, including this round of strep, 2 cases of strep throat. He was more susceptible to sinus infections.
Then, again, this is a woman who insisted that he had an ear infection because as an older infant he would hold his ear as he drank a bottle when he was sleepy.
Of course, she went to NBC Medical School--you know, that school where you watch ER whether your friends would all be talking about it the next day or not.
*sigh* She's not a doctor, but she watches them on TV.

LOL. I play one on TV too... :)
Do you have access to an herb store? Blue Vervain helps clear up a stubborn strep infection. Take it after the antibiotics are over to make sure its really gone.
*Giggles* NBC Medical School rocks! I used my degree to diagnose Nate's case of shingles. (Which is disgusting as well)
Get well Toad.
Happy New Year Mumples!
