I have strep throat. Huh?

I went to the CVS Minute clinic. After being told they don't take my insurance (!) I got tested for the flu because of my high fever. That was fun! They stick this long, wood stick up your nose and into your brain and hold it there for 15 seconds. I really enjoyed that.

When she was done scraping the gray matter she looked in my throat. First she said, "Yeah, you have a LOT of post nasal drip. Say 'Ahhhhh'..." Then she sort of jumped back, threw on a pair of gloves, and said "Oh, I think we're going to go ahead and test you for strep!"

Yeah. I feel like the butt end of a donkey.
