Lisa called late last night to (painfully) tell me that she had made it home to Oregon and that her throat hurt possibly a little less than it had earlier in the day. I told her to rest, not talk, and nurse the throat -- and if it didn't get better soon, to go to an Urgent Care center in Salem and have a doctor look at it and possibly prescribe antibiotics if it looked like strep-throat. (Obviously one shouldn't use antibiotics if they are not indicated.)
