What the heck is wrong with me?
So folks, I made a solemn pledge to be a better journal-er, and haven't done too great a job. But at least we're getting something semi-regular.
Basically what's going on in my life is not clear. The week after MLK, I had to miss two days of school for feeling like crap. Went to Dr. #1, got Ammoxicillin, went back to school. Took all of this antibiotic and still feel like shit. So find Dr. #2 in Mandeville so I don't have to miss another day to revisit Dr. #1 who is in Destrehan. He gives me Bactrum to kill whatever the other antibiotic didn't. Well guess what... didn't do shit. Apologies to Ben for calling on the way to school asking about his disease history to see if he could figure this out.
Went to Alexandria on Friday to spend the weekend with Jay and end up in the Charity Hospital Emergency room for EIGHT AND A HALF HOURS on Saturday night. By this point, the entire back of my throat and tonsils are the size of grapefruits and the color of mold. Dr. #3 gives me ANOTHER antibiotic. And you guessed it.. it isn't working either!!!
So tomorrow brings me to Doc #4, and Ear Nose and Throat Specialist. I have been so sick (and I won't give details here) that I could no way drive home so I'm STILL in Alexandria. They're threatening to take my tonsils out... oh joy. I don'tknow WHEN I'll be able to get back to school, but I sure as heck can't talk above a whisper for long.
And then I get a bitchy email from one principal asking when I'd be back because it was getting hard to cover my classes. WELL EXCUSE ME! I guess I'll just come to school, sleep through half the day and puke and shit all over these kids then. (That's the lovely side effects of the medicines) Silly me... what have I been thinking???
Hopefully the final "cure" will be diagnosed tomorrow... if I could cut these bastards out myself I would. Tonsillitis for a month SUCKS.
