After thinking I was out of the woods health-wise, I came down with a hell of a bug on Wednesday night. I woke Thursday morning to intense throat pain. Went to the Doctor, who threw antibiotics at me unhelpfully while saying "well honey I don't know what it is!! Some sort of tonsillitis!" oh and, "Gargle with salt water and take ibuprofen!"

In case somewhat TMI medical stuff turns you off... )
