Quick update to say I have not been running since last Saturday because I appear to have a football in my throat again. Usually I would let throat infections run their course but since I want to run my course on Sunday, I went to the doctor.(Also had to get a routine blood pressure check as mine has been....interesting, in the past. Now totally normal. Yay for running!)
Anyway, doctor took one look and said "Yuck". So I have antibiotics to take, and not the good ones, not penicillin because that makes me turn purple and throw up and that's just not a good look. Oxytetracycline which you have to take an hour before food or on an empty stomach. Seriously, do some people really go for an hour without eating? Wow. And you aren't supposed to take milk within 2 hours of the tablets so when am I supposed to get my cup of tea, eh?
Honestly, I will willingly forego my chain-drinking tea habit if it means I am within spitting distance of okay for Sunday. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

ReplyDeleteThere will be no puppies in the Dackel Princess house this summer! :-(
You're much more committed than me. I'd be getting a medical certificate that stated I need to be lying at home drinking sips of rum, watching the football on tele, while being waited on hand and foot by my partner!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon Loth! And good luck for Sunday!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteVery impressed that you would actually be able to give up the tea habit...I couldn't do it.
Fingers, toes and eye crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteBetter living through chemistry. Good luck! Hope it's all just a memory by the weekend.
ReplyDeleteOxytetracycline?! That IS nasty stuff. I feel for you, and your lower GI tract!
ReplyDeleteNonetheless, sending you good running vibes from across the pond!
