A pox on the person that gave me this! I woke up last Monday with 39.1 degree fever and sore throat and after a test the good doctor let me know the good news: "yorenkin" (strep throat).
Fortunately, after two days of being unable to eat anything exept jellies from a horribly swollen throat and only barely able to walk to the john (I fainted in mid-step and crashed into a wall in the middle of the night and scared the whole neighborhood), the antibiotics got the fever down and I felt good enough to take the kids up to Nagano as planned.

Makes you appreciate good health and the importance of basics like gargling and washing hands after coming home. Thanks for nursing me back to health Megu!
