I have strep again for the second time in two weeks.
The first time I was prescribed the antibiotic penicillin. I was confused at the pharmacist's counter when she showed me the pills, because for the past five years, I've only seen antibiotics in liquid form with fruity flavorings. I couldn't remember the last time I had penicillin in pill form.
I did my ten days, three pills a day and life was good.
Friday I woke up with a sore throat and today I got swabbed and affirmed. Strep again.
This time, I got a shot of penicillin with a prescription chaser. The shot was in my butt. I've never had a shot in my ass, but it was just like on TV sitcoms. The nurse was pretty. I had to drop my pants. I was bent over a table. I had to lift the shot side leg and reposition it to take the weight off. Rubbing alcohol was liberally rubbed on. She slid a few fingers in my anus to relax my gluteus maximus. Then I got the shot. Band-aid was applied and I was out the door.
I hope it works this time. But for some aching reason, I want to go back to the doctor's office.

Sounds like wishful thinking to me.
Oh, I wouldn't wish strep on anyone.
Whoever heard of fingers up the ass to get a shot? Certainly not I
You had a hot nurse with fingers on the two-hole? Sounds like that movie "Road Trip".
I have a friend who is a nurse. One time she had to give a guy a shot on his "hip" and when he dropped his drawers, he had a huge tattoo of flies all over his butt. Like they were flying out of there. He said, "I got really drunk once....."
One of my favorite stories.
