I have tonsillitis - maybe

So, I went to the doctor, finally, again and I told him I had a sore throat for two weeks. He looked in my throat. Then I asked if I should be tested for strep throat. He said he couldn't do it there. Ok. Where? A general hospital. Ok. (I have no idea what that means.)

I told him my glands hurt, or rather, showed him. Actually, that's the only place that hurts and I was surprised that he didn't check after looking in my throat. He explained that something, something lymph glands, something something tonsillitis. I asked if I had tonsillitis. He sort of laughed (or did he say yes?) Then he said "medicine, two days" with no further instructions. When I picked up my prescription from the nurse, she said if I feel better after two days, not to come back.

I DON'T GET IT! If I have something resembling tonsillitis, do they really believe it will be cured with TWO DAYS WORTH OF MEDICATION?

Oh, wait a minute. . . . I think I may finally have the answer! It must be MAGIC MEDICINE! Yes, yes, that's it!

Aarggh, grrrr

Am I sick or am I just lazy? Seriously, I can't quite tell although, I think I might be a little of both. I don't feel really rotten. I just have a sore (kind of) throat and I'm lazy. There you go, those are my symptoms, so you can tell why I'm not quite sure. Or can you? (ha ha a little ambiguity joke)

I had the best Sunday in recent memory yesterday and today, I joined a gym, went to yoga, made a new friend and was pleasant to all of my students today.
I am a superstar.
More sunshine and sparkles to follow . . .

Married, yes. Children, no.

People keep asking me if I have kids. If I ever do anything the least bit unusual, people who know me ask if I'm pregnant. It's starting to crack me up. I think I may start doing stuff just to fuck with their minds. I'm not sure what yet, but I've got to come up with something. This is an opportunity that cannot be passed up.

Last night, I couldn't sleep because I had so many fantastic thoughts, plans, schemes, things not to forget (but don't worry, how could I forget this, it's brilliant), in my head.

This morning, I have no idea what any of it was.

Come on brain! Don't quit on me now!!!!!!!

I'm sick. I have a sore throat, so I went to the doctor just in case. Well, the doctor looked in my throat and up my nose and proceeded to write me a prescription for TWO DAYS worth of antibiotics. Then he told me that if I take the medication and feel better, then I don't need to continue.

WTF????????

Every time I go to the doctor's for an illness, this is the kind of treatment I get. "Take this medicine for three days and come back if you don't feel any better." Stupid!

I've decided not to take the medicine at all.

I'm sick, so I'm not any more eloquent than that.

The end.
