I should've listened to my body and slept more last week. Now I have strep throat. I got the results from my urine culture. It has streptocaccus. Right around that time (two days ago) my throat got really sore. THe doc already called in a scrip for amoxicillin. You all know I hate taking antibiotics and thankfully haven't taken them in a couple years which was a goal. But I hate strep more! The sore throat aghh! If I agree to rest a lot and I drank an entire Kambucha tea with probiotics in it this morning , everday, I will let myself take the antibiotics. Plus everyone I read (and I've read a ton) says you don't mess around with UTI's. You take antibiotics. Althoguh the one woman I'm reading says you take antibiotics for a day or several but that is it. Then you do another urine culture and see if it isn't clear. Huh. well, unfortuenately she's an author from '90s and not my doc so I dunno if I can 'request' another culture. I just want to get better. Yesterday I did just lay around after work. I didn't even cook. I got tuna and egg salad and coleslaw from the Raisin Rack salad bar. Then I layed down and watched a movie. and drank hot tea. and I layed in the position I found that is helpful for back pain. On back with head on pillow and several pillows under knees. Thank goodness one more day of work this week. Off tomorrow b/c grandma invited me to her Red Hat event. Another reason to take antibiotics, I don't want to be contageous around my 79 year old grandmother. Hopefully taking 2 or 3 today and one in the morning will make me not contageous.
