That stinks that you are sick and had to go to the hospital. But, on the bright side, you have health insurance!! I think without it your husbands visit to the doctor's office would have cost around $100 - much worse than $35! And I'm sure it's a similar thing with the ER cost. I hope you're all feeling much better soon! Eeww…. That stinks that you are sick and had to go to the hospital. But, on the bright side, you have health insurance!!

I ended up going to the ER. They may or may not bill it as a clinic visit. They don't tell you until it's bill time. My husband was so bad on the third day that I figured I better go since Sunday was my second day and I already was feeling pretty bad. They didn't do a strep test, but both of my ears were infected and they prescribed antibiotics. I don't feel much better today so we'll see how I feel tomorrow. My son is also following us and he'll be going to the doctor's tomorrow. What a nasty bug. DC Smith - haha, we had some broccoli in our freezer that I had hopes of getting everyone to eat but it sat in there for ages. It finally was tossed when things went haywire. Can't blame our broccoli though, since it was on the door. A quick update on my health. I ended up going to the ER. They may or may not bill it as a clinic visit.

It doesn't have to be ice - on mine even pushing some boxes or a bag of frozen veggies (it was broccoli medley) too far back by that air intake messes up the fridge part. It's right on the "floor" of the freezer and very easy to block. I avoid the repairman at all costs so in desperation I dug out the manual. The answer was buried way at the back in some troubleshooting chart. I guess it would have been more helpful if I had remembered that back when yours broke.

Have you tried gargling salt water? Sore throat is never a good experience and something that can pass and linger for quite some time. I think it’s time to replace the toothbrushes.

This morning it does hurt worse. Of course, it's Sunday and the only way to get to the doctor is by going to the ER :( It still isn't very painful, but I'm only on the second day. My husband got REALLY bad on his third day. It would be great if they would prescribe the antibiotic without a visit. For us, it's pretty obvious what I'm getting. We'll have to call the doctor he visited and see. So far, my son has been okay. Basically, we've been "blowing kisses" ever since my husband first started showing signs.

Perhaps, if the sore throat continues for 3 days (home remedies won't treat Strep), you can get them to go ahead and prescribe the antibiotic without a culture or Dr's visit since it'd be pretty obvious what you have. Also either throw away or run toothbrushes through the dishwasher or boiling water. Gotta kill that bacteria! As a nurse, I have to warn you, Strep is REALLY contagious.
