Joanne noticed something funny. A tickle in her throat. A slight soreness associated with swallowing. I AM INFECTIOUS.While I am very sorry she is also a tad sick (she took action sooner), in a twisted way I feel vindicated. For once, it is not just my immune system failing utterly. Rather than being a candidate for the next bubble child show, I am just a normal person who caught a cold other people get too.
Being the source of her tonsilitis, I took her to the nice family doctor who had treated me. (The doctor's joke being the office will be prepared for all the international boys who will come in reporting colds.) As a thank you for their being so sweet last time, I brought small maple candies for the doctor and receptionist who had to put up with me before, in addition to a new customer.
As a plus for us coming earlier in the day, the nearby Apotheke was actually open, so Joanne and I were fairly quick. After wandering a famous outdoor market, and small bowls of pho/won ton soup, it was time to call it a day. Tomorrow we visit Melk, through the Orientation program! On Sunday, Salzburg!
After typing out the above, and deciding that at least one picture should be included, I realized how ridiculous this update is. A blog about European travels, and this is all about the mundane experience of being sick. We went to Schonbrunn Palace yesterday! I am posting pictures of that? Nope. Clearly, everyone back home wants to hear about the joys of prescription filling.
