I think I'm sick again

Post by Jac3510 »

Pray for me if you would, all. I was at work last night and felt my throat get scratchy. No biggie. But over about one hour, the pain became unbearable. I went home to take an anti-inflammatory because I could feel either a gland or my tonsil swelling and went to bed. Hard night. Didn't sleep well from the pain. This morning it is so swollen I can feel it in the back of my throat. Hurts to talk. I'm just hoping it clears up really quickly. I'll be going to the doc today as soon as they open and I get an appointment.

Thanks!

Jac, just lifting you up. Sounds like Strep?

Pay no attention to the smart alecs!

Look, Jac may be handicapped in speech, but NEVER forget that machinegun of a keyboard he wields. I'll bet his wife is QUIET woman! :D Or maybe he just types rapid-fire but doesn't actually talk too much - hmmm? y:-?

All kidding aside, Jac, hope it's an illness of short duress!

You are a prophet, phil. It's strep. Thank you all for the prayers, and even for the smart alec comments that gave me a good laugh. Today's been rough, but not near as bad as last night. Hoping by tomorrow I'll be significantly improved. Prayers and antibiotics are a great combination. :)

I just prayed for Jac.
Hebrews 12:2-3 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,despising the shame,and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

2nd Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,lest the light of this glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God,should shine unto them.

Jac: You are a prophet, phil. It's strep.
Jac, don't know if you've ever had Strep before - and this may seem like simple common sense - but take ALL of the antibiotic until you are out of it. Meaning, if you start to feel really great for a day or so, don't assume it's gone. I did stupidly did that when I was a young guy - it was like almost recovering after a truck has run over you, but then it backs up to finish the job. The second wave was REALLY bad!

Had it once before, the very day I had planned to ask my wife to marry me - had planned it for a perfect lake in the mountains, a beautiful fall day, but then I woke up and my uvula was the size of a baseball - touching my throat. Scared me to death, I didn't know what it was. So we didn't go. She had suspected "this was gonna be the big day," and so when I said I couldn't go, she was so upset. So I basically found a quiet spot by a local lake, popped the Big Q, then immediately said, "I gotta go get in bed." :lol: I think she had to help me back up off of my bended knee, I was so weak. Best laid plans and all that. :roll:

Oh, and it IS contagious!

Get well!

Bippy,

Jac is definitely feeling better. His posts aren't so rude blunt anymore. :mrgreen:

Yes, I am MUCH better (and maybe less blunt ;)). Thanks very much for all the prayers. Definitely not interested in getting strep again. Sheesh. That was the suck.
