Update
So I finally broke down and went to the urgent care last night. It turns out I have strep, tonsillitis, and cellulitis in my throat---which left unattended could lead to not being able to open my jaw or swallow, and then could abscess.
Fabulous! I guess I've been saving up for the past 20 years to get really really sick.
But thankfully they gave me a penicillin shot and a double dose of oral antibiotics for yesterday. And they said I could take stronger painkillers (which have really helped but which make me nauseous, as do the antibiotics if I don't eat first, which is painful to do and, consequently, takes a long time.)
This morning, at least the body aches are gone, hopefully some of the sore throat pain will be gone tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to go see another doctor about the cellulitis.
I'm glad I didn't try to hold out until Monday.
Today I am grateful for:

Today I am grateful for:
- priesthood blessings
- urgent care office that was open late on a saturday (most close at 4 or 5 --crazy)
- nice doctors and nurses
- antibiotics
- painkillers
- hot baths
- wonderful husband who hasn't complained, even though he has so much to do that hasn't gotten done because he is taking care of me and everyone else.
- kids that are still behaving nicely
