Yeah, so this is strep throat. We went to a clinic in Galena and I got a prescription for antibiotics, so hopefully this fever will go away. My initial goal was that it would merely ruin my time at the lake house, but it has officially disrupted our itinerary. Today should have ended in Indianapolis, but that leg of the trip will have to be scuttled. Now I’m hoping the antibiotics and rest will allow us to continue to St. Louis unfettered, but I’m also worried that my sickness will make parts of our trip less fun. Ugh.
Fun pro tip for travelers. Apparently travel with your insurance card. I was able to look up my information because I had my phone with me and had my online account set up, but they were unwilling to just look me up, which was my naïve belief going into this.
Anyway, we got the antibiotics. At the pharmacy in Galena, we also bought some cinnamon bread made by nuns in Iowa, so that was delicious. I am now going to focus 100% of my energy on getting better.
