The sore tale of a throat

Yes. I am having a sore throat (and not feeling very good now)… but with it is a tale of how it came to be…

I am sure it could have been prevented or even lessened before the actual onset. In fact, I saw the signs of a sore throat and went to the camp doctor. Alas, I’ve been told it was minor and no medication needed to be given. I was incredulous, but have no power to influence a change in that outcome.

That fateful decision caused me to lose sleep that night as my nose became blocked, leaving my voice hoarse and dry that night….

Once out of camp the next day, I went to see my family doctor. The news was what I predicted all along: Inflammation of throat walls and some swelling in the nose…

I guess the saying that “a person knows their own body the best” holds true….
