I imagine this is what becoming a zombie must feel like. Or at least what the incipient stages of throat-emanating zombification feels like. It hurts a little, then it hurts more, then you figure you might as well not move... I only wish I was becoming a zombie. Then at least something good would come of this gaddamn illness.
I have tonsillitis. I don't have to get a tonsillectomy, but I don't know how long this bullshit will last. I feel all around weak, almost always a little warmer than usual, and it is unbelievably painful to swallow--saliva, food, water, anything.
Since my title seems to be an angry stoner, I guess you can classify me as an angry sickling too. I'm pissed-the-fuck-off by the fact that I'm sick. The entire last week of school I had early tonsillitis, which I confused for sore throat. I got a good 10 hours of sleep every night, way more than 500mg of vitamin C every 4 hours, and took well more than enough drugs to take care of any common cold in a few days. The result? It's Sunday afternoon and I haven't left my room / bathroom since Friday night.
To answer your questions, Rory and Carly, I'm not in the hospital. They only remove your tonsils if you have chronic tonsillitis and/or it inhibits breathing while you sleep. I don't know what I'm going to do about exams tomorrow and Tuesday. Hopefully I'll just not show up and they won't care. I certainly don't.
Ugh. Now all the away messages I'm reading say you guys are at the beach. Cheers to sore throats!
