He was fine. We had a blast on Saturday. (Maybe a bit too much fun for someone.) We woke up fine on Sunday. He did his walk and then made me breakfast before going off to his BBQ with work friends. It was around 7 or 8 that he sent me a text that he was on his way home and had “flu like symptoms”. Now honestly I figured he had some heat-stroke type thing going on. He’s a sun worshipper and loves his adult beverages after all…
So I went on about making plans for Monday (today) while he arrived home and was directly off to bed. After an hour he texted me (yes, from upstairs. We do that). He wanted his temperature taken. So I headed up. 103.2 degrees. He was radiating heat. I was worried, but he thought it was a 24 hour thing. I was still thinking too much sun and booze. Today he still felt bad but went to work. He ended up not going out with us tonight. When I got home he was much worse. He had tweeted about “a hole in his tonsil” so I looked in his mouth with a flashlight. Sure enough there is a sore there. Now I don’t have tonsils so looking in someone’s mouth that has them kinda is gross. It was a labor of love. After much google-ing and photo viewing we are 97% sure it’s tonsillitis. Way more symptoms than strep and he has like ALL of them. It’s almost a perfect match, but he IS going to the doctor tomorrow.
Anyhoo, since I stopped my antibiotics due to a crazy rash situation, (which is much better now, thank you) I got him taking the rest so he will be un-contagious faster. (Google said what I was taking is will work on tonsillitis.) Since I don’t have tonsils I am pretty sure I won’t get it, plus I still have the antibiotics in my system for another day, but still… Ew. I may be camping on the couch tonight yo. I just got over some long sickness. I am not signing up for another!
Keep my boy in your thoughts though. He is feverish and in a bit of pain. Thanks.
