Strep Throat x2

Vivienne had her 15 month appointment today. I started feeling like shit last night while chatting with Stacey. Any correlation? Hm.

Here is a reason to be nice to anyone you come in contact with: Today Vivienne's pediatrician asked for a strep test to be done because her throat was a little red. I fell like crap, my throat is sore and I have been running fevers off an on for the pat 24 hrs. Her test comes back positive. The Nurse Practitioner there comes into the room and tells me "You need to call your Primary Care Physician and tell them that your one yr old has strep and you have all the symtpoms. Tell them to call in an antibiotic for you. You shouldn't need to go in".

After thinking a minute, I realize that I have never been to my PCP. So I tell her this... "oh well", I am thinking. She walks back into the room with 5 packets of antibiotics for me and proceeds to shove them in my bag. "If you tell anyone I gave you these I will be fired". Um ok.

So, I got free antibiotics. Just for being nice to her and not treating her like shit. After all, she is the one who sticks needles in my child's arm. I should be nice to her so she doesn't do it too hard or slowly, right?

Like I always say, be nice to people, you never know who touches your food.
