I went home this weekend to visit with my beloved Katie Pope and to attend a wedding outing with Becky and the girls, but I ended up staying home because of this stupid cold I have. My throat started hurting on Thursday and it just kept getting worse and worse. When my mom looked at it on Saturday she said she was surprised I could breathe it looked so swollen. And then on Sunday, after a pretty painful morning, I finally decided to go to the doctor to see if they could figure out what the problem was and if there was any way, other than waiting it out, to cure it. When the doctor looked at my throat he was grossed out and made me open my mouth again so that my mom could see how gross it was, gotta love when the doctor finds your illness disgusting. They decided it was either strep or mono and gave me medication that would cure it if it is strep. If that doesn't end up working I am suppose to go in to my doctor and get a blood test to see if it is mono. So far the meds have been working well, so I decided I would go back to my apartment tonight so that I don't get too far behind on my homework, even if I don't go to my classes tomorrow.
Oi...this is why I don't like getting sick now that I am older. Life doesn't stop for you...it doesn't even slow down. Instead you have to speed up in order to try and get back on track, and it stinks.
