What's that smell?

This has been a particularly fun month for me... A couple of weeks ago ALL of our babies at work were sick. Literally ALL of them either were sent home or had just stayed home at least one day, if not the entire week (okay there were one or two out of seven that weren't). One of our babies (well he's actually a toddler) had been out with strep so when my throat started hurting I was a little concerned but when my nose became plugged on Friday and started running on Saturday I figured I had a pretty bad cold. There were a couple of things different about this than a cold though: 1- I had a massive headache and 2- it stunk! So I figured I had a sinus infection and thought I'd wait for a little while to go the Dr since I don't have health insurance yet (I qualify next week) and I didn't think I had it long enough for them to prescribe antibiotics. By that next Wednesday I couldn't take the smell anymore! It stunk! So my boss let me off early one night and I decided I was going to go the Urgent Care by my house, even if I had to embellish how long my symptoms had been going on, I would get some antibiotics! So I went in and they asked if I had been exposed to strep and since I had they tested me for it. I figured I didn't have it but hey I was paying $99, they might as well test me for whatever that will pay for (no matter how unpleasant). The Dr came in and we talked for a while about what was going on and she said something that made it seem like she didn't really want to give me anything but left the room and came back a couple of minutes later. Then she said "so your strep test came back positive"... I was a little in disbelief... I had no symptoms of it other than a sore throat. I mean, my nose was running! If your nose runs, they tell you don't have strep, you have a cold! But she said that strep can do that. So that explains the smell. Instead of me having horrible breath, I had that smell in my nose. Bacteria stinks! Literally! So I got on antibiotics and took the next day off at work despite the fact that I had already exposed everybody there. I am feeling better but not 100% there. The antibiotics have upset my stomach a little bit but that seems to be getting better. The smell has mostly gone away but I can still smell it a little bit... working with children may literally kill me!
