So once again I'm sick. And once again it's my freakin' tonsils! I just want to rip them out of my throat - screw sterile surgeries, at this point I'll just go in there with my bare hands and rip them out.
Okay, not really, but it's what I feel like. I started getting sick on Thursday, and what seemed to be just a harmless sore throat evolved into full-blown tonsillitis. I had gone to the health center on Saturday to get it checked out and since my tonsil wasn't too bad at that point the doctor just said that I had a bad cold (which couldn't be true when I had a fever...) and put me on Penicillin just in case. The problem? I took Penicillin a month ago when I got my wisdom teeth out so the bacteria in my body have a resistance against it. Sweet.
Then my ear started throbbing last night and I realized it was time to go back - I scheduled an appointment with a different doctor (who was actually really good, I'm going to keep going back to her when I'm sick; she really knew her shit) this morning and she was smart enough to put me on a stronger antibiotic and do a throat culture.
So now I'm popping pills and drinking lots of fluids to flush this shit out. The only problem? I need to be better by Friday or my plan of going to Rochester this weekend is completely destroyed. And since I'm planning on going to Rochester I need to finish a paper for U.S. History by Thursday instead of Friday, but I keep falling asleep every time I go to work on it. I keep blaming that on the sickness but I really think it's because the stuff is really that boring.
Either way, I just want to get better. Luckily I decided to break my habit of avoiding doctors, because I don't know how many more days I could've made it like this - my entire head feels like it's waging war against something and it hurts. Real bad.
