Well, I had my appointment at NorthBay today with nurse practitioner regarding the irritation in my throat.

The nurse was very nice and thought I might have strep throat, so they took two swabs, one that would yield immediate results and another to be sent to a lab. Strange that when they thought it might be strep, I could dicern a bit of nervousness when they came close to take those samples. The presumptive test came back negative in the office, so I was prescribed penicillin for 10 days just in case.

I have no idea what it could be, but I’m glad I’m having it checked.
