On Thursday at work, my throat started to hurt and I started to lose my voice. By the end of the day it was almost gone. Stephan, from way up north at work, made me promise to stop by Shopper's Drugmart and specifically speak with the pharmacist to ask for a better cough medicine he could recommend me. So I did just that, and he picked out a super strong cough medicine (that is oh so delicious....sweet, and orange tasting!), and then informed me that laryngitis was going around and that I should go check. He told me where my nearest walk-in clinic was, so off I went. Magically the walk-in clinic had no lineup, I didn't even sit in the waiting room. I went right into the doctor's office. As the pharmacist suspected, it was a throat infection....laryngitis. I was given a prescription for penicillin, 4 times a day.
I took Friday off of work, and by then I couldn't speak at all. It was horrible, I felt like a truck had run over me. I spent most of the day sleeping.
Sadly, I didn't get the full weekend off. I had to do a first aid course all day Saturday/Sunday. But by Saturday I was already feeling much better, and was able to talk a little. My energy was also very good.
Today, I had to drop Anna off at the vets, she got fixed. Yup, she's 6 months old now :) I picked her up after work, she was not a happy little lady. Quite grumpy. And groggy. She wobbles when she walks, and she's sniffing at her food but not eating yet. But she's purring, she's very happy to be home. Still, she made me feel pretty bad when I picked her up.
She's on medication for 3 days, to stop any inflammation. Also, she developed a small ulcer on her eye after the surgery. The vet said it was normal, and very minor, just on the surface. She told me it's nothing to worry about, and gave me some drops to give her for the next week.
Groggy and a little unsteady
