Placebo Effect?
Well, it may very well be the placebo effect (affect?) but I think the antibiotics are working. I'm feeling MUCH better today...much, much better. I can swallow and not wince! No more Draino singe! Yipppeeee!!!
I thought at first it was the high dose Advil I was taking but I stopped that (last dose at 2 am this morning) and I have still been improving throughout the day. Perhaps this was just the natural progression of things and I would have felt better today anyway. Regardless, I'm not complaining!!
I still did skip my swim this morning because I didn't relish the idea of going out in the 10 degree temps to get in cold water when my head was still a little fuzzy and my throat still scratchy. But I've felt improvement throughout the day so it's on the bike tonight for a 1:45 ride and then we will be back to the regularly scheduled programming tomorrow. Oh how would I love it if this was my only "sickness" all of 2008! See - I like to get things out of the way early!! :)
Have a great night everyone!

Effect is the noun and affect is the verb, in this case. Although there's a stealthy 3rd form and that's effect as a verb, which means to bring about, or bring into existence: http://xkcd.com/326/
I love xkcd.
Oh, and good to know you're feeling better. ;-)
