Just walked in the door to the sound of the phone. The rapid strep test I had last Friday might have been negative, but the regular strep test is positive. They've called in a prescription for amoxicillin, which I'll go pick up in a few minutes.

I knew I wasn't still supposed to be feeling sick seven days later. Now all it will take is a couple of doses of antibiotics, and I'll feel fine. Yay! Bacterial infections are so much better than the alternative.

Maybe I should've gone to the doctor earlier than Friday, but it really had all the hallmarks of a virus. Maybe they should've gotten my strep results back to me yesterday, though, hm? I would already be feeling better, and I wouldn't have gone to the clinic in a probably-infectious condition today.

I hope no one else gets sick. Probably not, because I was being careful not to pass on whatever I might have.

Mmmmmmmm, antibiotics.
