Thanks to a certain Grandma, now Mom knows that I'm sick. All afternoon and night I was really burning up with a fever. My hallmates are really concerned. Today I was feeling better so I got up and went to Boettcher (Health Center). I thought the fever was all gone, but the NP said my temperature was almost 100° so by comparison last night might have been 102°, or worse. On the questionnaire I was checking off almost every symptom:
yes Face Pain, yes Achy All Over (a total understatement), yes Fever and Chills, yes Coughing . . . you get the picture.
The NP looked down my throat and said what you always want to hear from your doctor: "Gasp" and "Uh oh!" I heard something about "white stuff." She did a strep test and it came out negative. I have to go back Monday for a mono test.
The only good news is that there's no use in quarantining me from my friends because the germs are everywhere anyway and I just made myself more susceptible to them by studying until 2 o'clock in the morning every night this week. So I guess the other good news is I'm not behind in class.
