ok.
I will take the claritin in the morning so if I have any bizarre reaction to it I won't be lying there heart pounding in the middle of the night. it's not like it's antibiotics that need to get going right away.
when I got home I called my regular doc's voicemail to find out she is out of town until next week. I was going to try to sneak in to see her tomorrow night so now that's out.
ah well. I'm not running a fever so I must not be about to die.
my blood pressure was up and my heart rate was elevated which always happens when I go to a new medical establishment. it's a reptile brain thing. but nurse practitioner said to keep an eye on the numbers. when regular doc gets back from wherever she is I will go in and get blood pressure taken and, if throat is still sore, get attention for that as well.
I hate going to the doctor. well. I don't mind going to the one I've known for seven years now. I hate going to the unfamiliar doctor.
