A few weeks ago, I got sick with strep throat. It hurt a lot, so I took amoxicillin. Every time I took it, my stomach hurt. I was still taking it when we went camping in the Uinta mountains this past weekend. Then, in the morning, I had my breakfast and took my amoxicillin, and I threw up all my breakfast, everywhere. I had breakfast twice and threw it up both times.
We left and went to the InstaCare in Park City, and I was moaning the entire way there, because my stomach hurt a lot. I had a bit of water in the bathroom while waiting to be seen. In the exam room, I threw up again, explosively. Mom tried to catch it, but it splashed through her hand onto three chairs. Then, I got a little emesis bag in which to throw up, and had to change my clothes again, so I changed into a hospital gown and loose pants the clinic gave me. Then, we went into my room and I got to snuggle up with a blanket on the table. I got a shot of penicillin to take care of the streptococcus without upsetting my stomach or preventing me from eating, and a prescription for some Zofran tablets, to help me if my stomach becomes upset again.
After that, we went to Harmon's to pick up my prescription, then went home to get cleaned up. That night, we slept at home, and the next morning, Grammy came over and we went back up to the campground, which was near the Smith and Morehouse reservoir. We packed up the campsite, then took the canoe to the reservoir to paddle around for a few hours. Luke came along, and got to try out his life vest. He wasn't a big fan of the canoeing, but came anyway. He probably preferred sitting with Grammy while Mom, Dad and I went out together.
While on the water, we saw a humongous rope swing, and teenagers were jumping off the rope swing and doing cannonballs into the water. It was amazing. Usually, we put mini boats out into the water and go rescue them. This time, we played a new game, though. I jumped out of the boat and into the water and the canoe came and rescued me!
