still sick - can you believe it?!?

so it is almost a week since i posted last, and yes, i am still as sickly as ever! i'm on to a brand new and exciting phase now. im done with the fevers, aches and pains, no more nausea either. what i get to deal with now is the most amazing sore throat i have ever had! my tonsils (sp?) feel so huge! especially my right one. i can't swallow a thing! not even my own spit - yeah i know that's gross. i can't sleep because the pain is too bad, and throat lozenges are no help. i have a doc. apt. today so i hope he can fix me. my worst fear is that i have tonsillitis or something horrible like that! the term is winding down, and i have projects piling up, the last thing i would need is to have my tonsils removed. i almost hope that its strep and can just be put on antibiotics. and yes mark, i did get some ecanacea (sp?) and garlic pills. i took them this morning even though it was ever so painful. if i am still sick this weekend i swear im gonna cry.
