So I'm sick, as the title above might suggest. As is common with me and my father, whose genes I share, I get Strep Thraot quite easily and frequently. To the point that I can diagnose it by myself. Swollen trachea, hot sticky feeling in my mouth, slight fever and runny nose. Yup, that's it. This really sucks, because I will have it for about 2 weeks to a month in total. And there's a chance it will kill me. It nearly did before. My throat closed up so much that they were gonna put a breathing tube down my throat. Fun, fun for all!
Anyway. Hopefully, this doesn't happen. I wouldn't enjoy spending a month or so in bed cut off from the rest of the world. That happens enough as it is. Last time I had it bad, I lost about 10 to 20 pounds and lived off juice and milkshakes(IE: banana, milk, chocolate syrup, ice cream). At least it keeps me alive.
Ah well, hopefully it's just a bad cold. Probably not, but hopefully.
