Gleaning Facebook: Yep. Strep.

 

Yep. Strep.

A pretty nurse pumped about a gallon of penicillin, laced with a bit of yellow-jacket venom for good measure, into one cheek, and a smaller amount of steroids into the other.

I've slept awhile now, and seem to be sweating off the fever.

We are all out of the honey/lemon concoction that is such a wonderful soother of flaming throat, but Sheila found a small carton of lemon sorbet in the freezer. It will do in a pinch.

You should be on the mend now!
David Marlin Rains Strep is bad news but those ABs work quickly. Tell you what, Terrell, take a break and play on FB all day - works for me 

Terrell Shaw Hey, David, I just remembered, I'm retired. I can do that if I like anyway. But I did want to finish re-staining/polishing the wooden parts a a chair so I can get it to the upholsterer. Maybe tomorrow.
Jann Heaton Skeen I did not realize you had retired!! Enjoy!

Tersi Bendiburg Dislike very much, Terrell. Hope you'll feel much better soon.
Terrell Shaw Yep. I have a wonderful part-time retirement job at Arrowhead, but I'm retired as of last June 1.
Anita Stewart Hope the penicillin, venon, steroid concoction helps your sore throat.

Pamela Held Ergle Sorry to hear you have strep i wouldn't wish that on anyone. At least you went to the doctor and got the good medicine. Hope you get to feeling better real soon.
Jackson Williamson I learned of this stuff from one of my voice teachers a long time ago. It's great for any sore throat situation:

CVS.COM Angela Flannigan McRee Hope you feel better soon. Yuck!!!!
Wanda Mulkey Dagraedt That nasty little bug seems to be zipping around. Hope you feel better.
Madelyn Collette Feel better soon.
Nancy Johal Singh Oh no, hope you feel well soon, let me know if you need a doctor, I happen to know a great one:)
Ruth Baird Shaw Terry, so sorry you are sick. Missed you this week-end. You should have spoken up sooner! Carol made lemon-ginger tea for folks here all weekend!

Ruth Pinson I'm sorry you're down, but hope you 're feeling great soon!!
Terrell Shaw I'm much better already, thanks to those miracle shots to my hiney. Throat's still sore but less so. Now to see if I can make positive use of this jump start on a renewed weight-loss regimen. Thanks everyone for all the good wishes!
John Countryman Sorry...what a drag! Speedy recovery.

Jann Heaton Skeen Hey "Mr. Terrell Shaw". This will make you feel better. I told Katelyn (Shuler) you were retired and she said "He's not that old”.

Terrell Shaw Give Katelyn an extra hug for me!

Dawn Lambert feel better
Marsha Yancey Atkins Hope you feel better soon.
Deborah Shaw Lewis I have half a jar of that lemon-ginger-honey mix in my refrig. Should i bring it over? It is the best for a sore throat.
Terrell Shaw We have loaded another jar with it, Debi, but thanks. I like that stuff, sore throat or not. I've lost my voice in the aftermath of this so I'm continuing to drink it. I'm scheduled to tell stories this week, of course, and to sing for the RahRahs next week so I need to fix that. I may need to try Jackson Williamson's cure above as well.
