downhill

i got my illinois drivers license yesterday!!! and it's probably the best i.d. photo i've ever had! so that was a great high. but now the great low... last night i felt like my tonsils were swelling again then at 5:30am i wake up in agony and have to take some nurofen plus to ease the pain so i can sleep again. so i get up today and go for the 5km walk (it was lovely, i'm going again when i'm better) then i decide i want cheesecake to make my throat feel better, so some of the girls and i drive off to the cheesecake factory and have sickening cheesecake. by this time i was like, i really don't feel good so i drove back here and got my insurance stuff and went to the doctor where they diagnosed me with... strep throat. the most painful thing in the world. my mouth hurts, my gums hurt, my teeth really hurt, my neck is not very mobile, the whole right side of my face feel like someone has taken a baseball bat to it and my throat! dear god my throat. it's like everytime i swallow i get stabbed a few times in the throat. i'd prefer to drool than swallow. i almost cried when the doctor told me because tonsilitis is better than strep. anything is btter than this horrible infection. and nothing is making me feel better. i don't think i can eat because it involves chewing and that is one thing i can't do much of. and i'm struggling to talk because i don't want to use my mouth. so now i'm waiting til i can go and gets the meds from walgreens, apparently it's a wait, they obviously haven't had strep.
