Was getting ready to go do some outdoor stuff about two weeks ago and started feeling sick. My wife finally talked me into going to the doctor when one night I woke up with a 103 degree temp.. Doctor looked at me, and when he said say ahh I think I saw him jump back 3 feet. Just said, "don't know why I am bothering testing you when a blind man can see that you have strep".. Orders were about the same as any could expect, stay in bed, take your meds or I will be seeing you in a day or two with pnemonia as well.. Other lesson learned (soon to be forgotten I am sure) is listen to your wife when she tells you to go see a doc.. Could have started getting treated a day or two earlier.
