it isn’t a comforting sign when your OB looks at your strep results and announces, “these are really stupid results.”

not meaning, of course, that i am a pinhead and failed the strep B test because i am an idiot, mind you. but the results came back that while i am not apparently positive for strep A or strep B, i am apparently positive for some other strep. of course, the results don’t tell which strep that would be. so we will be treating this, in the meantime, as if it were strep B. which, of course, is serious enough that it could kill the baby.

i am just a tad bit upset.
