So on the second day of the new semester I got really sick. I had an awful sore throat and I got physically exhausted pretty quickly so I went home early. It got worse the next day. I can barely swallow anything because my throat is so tender and sore. I have to brace myself for the pain everytime I swallow something. I also have a never ending headache and fever. I went to the Student Health Center today and it's not strep, and they tested for mono and it was negative, but it still might be mono. :( If it's mono I'll basically have to drop out of school this semester and finish next fall or spring, so I hope it's a virus that I'll get over next week.
I have an abcess in my throat (eeeeewwww) so I'm on antibiotics. I also have a steroid to decrease the swelling in my throat and I got some serious painkillers so I might be able to sleep for more than an hour or two.
I have never been in this much pain while sick, this is so awful. I'm also not allowed to go to school or work for the next week or so.
health woes,
school
