He'd have no luck at all.
God, how can one person end up so pathetic?
The Toad, who was sick last week with the stomach crud, now has strep throat. For a person who was rarely sick as a child, he's picking up every infectious thing he comes across. It's like a collection of knick-knacks, only his is pretty nasty, and no one else wants to even look at it.
He complained yesterday that he didn't feel well, and while we left him alone, and he didn't complain too much, you could tell by looking at him that he wasn't feeling well. The glands in his neck did feel tender, but if you're coming down with a cold, that's expected, right?
Well, today, his voice was funny, and I could tell by looking at him he wasn't feeling better. At all. I am of the opinion that if Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold Medicine doesn't cure it, it's bad. (It didn't, and it is.)
Poor pathetic thing has strep throat. You know it's bad when the nurse looks at his throat and gets green 'round the gills. You know it's really bad when the PA looks at his throat and gets green 'round the gills and turns away and makes face.
I looked at it before we went to the doc's and, yeah, it's pretty gross.
He got an excuse to be off work today and tomorrow, and we have one in reserve for Saturday if he's not feeling any better.
He just can't get a break--and I feel badly, even though some of the worry over the job is his own fault. I wouldn't wish strep this bad on my worst enemy.
At least it wasn't his dependix.

Bummer.
They say kids who get sick when they are littler are healthier adults because they have become immune to the viruses...
