Going to Patient First when it opens is faster than seeing my regular doctor.
Patient First is one-stop shopping if you don’t need an exotic prescription.
I am still five-three.
I am still down seven pounds from my highest-ever weight last year (must get back on that diet seriously!).
It is not strep.
All else being equal, I am having breakfast, taking my antibiotics, and going back to bed. Been up since five, when my throat felt like it was made of glass and razor blades. (It’s much better now.)
“I am still 5.3”.
Does that surprise you?
Seriously-I’m 5.2.
G-d gave us a choice of talent or tall.
It’s obvious what you chose.
*Big grin*
Hope you feel better soon.

Yogi Tea Throat Comfort tea. I love this stuff.
The reason I said that is because I went a chiropractor last year who told me I was 5.1. I told him his measuring stick was wrong, that I have NOT lost two inches of height, and that I’m not that old. I subsequently decided the guy was a crook and never went back.
I’ve run into three crooked chiropractors. One of them told me I had a severe curvature of the spine and would need (of course) therapy with her three times a week. She used someone else’s X-ray. I have no such curvature. She was out of business a month or two later. Wonder why.
Dieting portion control scales – 16 to 32 ounce mechanical scales are
best for quick, easy reading, i.e., you don’t have to count the tiny lines
because it points to the number of ounces each time. Mechanical means
no batteries, and you don’t have to push an On button and let it zero out
before weighing. Also, you can set the mechanical scale so an empty plate
of the set you use reads zero However, 6 and 11 lbs capacity scales are good
for weighing mail:

Refuah sheleimah, kiddo! A little bed rest should work wonders. Well, that and the antibiotics. Remember to take the whole prescription!
hot lemonade with honey
maybe some really good salsa too
Why has no one mentioned the soveriegn remedy: chicken soup? Either with matzoh balls or noodles, or both.
Get well soon, but being sick gives you a good excuse to pet the cats more.
Refuah sh’lema Meryl. Hope you’re up and about, and back doing all your good works, soon.
Meryl, refuah shlemah! I hope you feel better soon!
