The Germs of Endearment

I love, Love, LOVE my grandbabies. HOWEVER, I wish I could get them to love me less when they are not feeling well.

Nana is at home with antibiotics and a "raging case of strep" (the doctor's phrase). The doctor said it normally takes 10 minutes for a strep culture to process. Mine was showing positive in 4 minutes. He told me to go home, drink lots of water, take my antibiotice, eat jello and frozen fruit juices until I could swallow without pain. Then he said I could ease back into food.

Of course, I can't really blame it all on grandkids. I have 4 co-workers who have been at work with strep. One of them said she NEVER goes to the doctor because her immune system is strong enough to fight it off. (I told her she needed to fight it off in the privacy of her own home then to protect the rest of us.)
