Doctor:I have some good news and some very bad news.
Patient: Well, might as well give me the bad news first.
Doctor: The lab called with your test results. They said you have 24 hours to live.
Patient: 24 hours! That's terrible! What could be worse?
What's the very bad news?
Doctor: I've been trying to reach you since yesterday.
Well that wasn't exactly what my Doctor said when I visited her yesterday, but she did tell me I have a bad case of Strep, congestion and a UTI. I wonder what the Good News would have been?
She asked me"Are you around a lot of people with germs? Duh!!! I have three Grandchildren and I work at an elementary school. Does that count?" Needless to say, she put me on Penicillin VK 500 mg 4 times day day, but instructed me to take the penicillin 2 when I picked them up and 2 at night. So, I being the good patient did just that, I took 4 penicillin (2,000mg within a 5 hour period and I am sure you know what happened next? The Doctor should have just given me a bottle of go-lytley (for those of you who yet had a colonoscopy, you will not understand the severity of this)
So, I did take time away this afternoon from my bed of misery to let you know that I am going back to bed and will hopefully see you all on Sunday. (And no Sarah, there will no pictures of my Strep sickness for all to see:)

Okay, so here is your letter...."R"
Have fun with it!!!!!
No strep here - had a nasty cold about a week ago - but on the mend now. Reminds me of a colonoscopy: "You need to get that behind you!" "Hopefully they can get to the bottom of it!" LOL
Oh no! I am so sorry! I hate what happens NEXT! Hope you fair that okay!
Feel better soon! ♥
I have a long and sordid history with strep. My sympathies to you!
