Strep throat in austin TX!

Strep throat in austin TX! by Chuckumentary.
what a huge (treatable) relief. If it wasn't strep they were talking about giving me a spinal tap to check for meningitus. Gulp. This sure fucks up my sxsw trip though...

Crap - I hope you get better soon, Chuck.

BTW, Carl Weaver Photography is expanding its product offeirng and has a deal this week on spinal taps, so call me if you need one.

For some reason, you look like you're pretending to be a baby in this picture. I imagine you're wearing a diaper we (thankfully) can't see.

(i touch mops every day)

yeah, i don't know what the heck happened. i went downhill later thursday, and i've been just miserable all day today. glad i went to the hospital. i've got a little video and more pics, but they're touchy about that. some mumbo jumbo about "privacy" and "federal regulations."

what a horrible time to get sick! go find a patio somewhere and soak up some sun. hopefully you'll still be able to enjoy some of sxsw.

btw which hospital did you go to? south austin tried to bill us for 2k worth of treatment we didn't get, so be wary. I've heard rumors of all the hospitals being sketchy in some form.

the hot Texas sun hurts my head!
i'm staying in some shady air conditioning.... for now.

the hospital was Seton. i've heard Breckinridge is bad. anyway, i'll pay close attention to what they bill, thanks for the tip.

i don't even know you, and i realize this pic is ages old... but I got strep throat earlier this week and it brought me to my damn knees!! It seems so common, I thought, "surely I don't need to go to the hospital!" but I would have were I able to drive or think straight. Worst I'd felt in over a year!!
