Creeping Crud and Enormous Tonsils
Okay, Here's My Deal...
PART I: The creeping crud has hit our house.
It began with our son two nights ago. Projectile vomiting...across the room and then all over Daddy. Once he emptied his stomach, he was fine.
Last night, I continued the drama. I had the "backdoors" as my babysitter calls them, for a while and then I proceeded to throw up every meal I had eaten for the last 20 years (or so it felt). Once I got past the dry heaves, I was fine.
Finally, tongiht my husband comes home having dealt with the "backdoors" at work. I asked him if he felt pukey yet and he said no...ten minutes later, he ralphed up his stomach contents and then felt better. His unique symptom was the chills.
Hopefully, this will be the end of the creeping crud for a while.
PART II: Enormous tonsils...
About two weeks before Christmas, I got a sore throat and an earache. The nurse practitioner looked in my throat and said, "My, you have enormous tonsils!" To which I replied, "I bet you say that to all your patients!!" She gave me antibiotics to clear it all up. They did...
Until right before we came back from NC, when my sore throat was back. I go back to the NP and she says, "They are just HUGE!" Come to find out the speckles I saw were NOT infection spots, but rather scar tissue that has built up over time. She gave me different drugs to make my sore throat go away.
It hasn't, so next week I get to see an ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist to see if they need to come out. Great. Buy, hey, on the bright side...we'll meet that insurance deductible really quiclky this year if they do have to come out!
Have to go gargle with salt water...goodnight.
