Back from the East Coast, with a germ

By Poet With a Day Job

I got back from visiting family in Massachusetts late Wednesday night. I woke up Thursday with white spots on my throat and an almost complete inability to swallow – no fever though. So I just slept a lot last night and, regardless, I have something wicked in my head/nose/ears now (throat less spotty, still a bit sore). I am sullen about this because my pal Alex is in town and my dilapidated state is keeping me from sharing joyment with him. I regard this as mean. More lame blogging from PWADJ soon, I promise.

    I had this earlier in the year. Feel better.

    White spot? If they are numerous, it could be Strep Throat! Please go to doctor, and I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON!
    For relief from sore throat:
    *Gargle with salt water, 3 times a day.
    *Drink “Gypsy Cold Care” tea, 3-4 times per day.GCC tea is opera-singers’/actors’ favorite.Find it at any health-food store.It’s from, uh, “Traditional Medicinals”, I believe.
    * Extra B& C vitamins.
    Perhaps you already do all this.

    Hope you recover quickly. That sounds nasty. Look after yourself.
