I give up

Everytime I have walked into the Cowell Health Center I have come out with something new... mono... strep...tonsilitus... what made me think this visit was going to be any different. My left tonsil is infected. It had a huge absys on it that would need to be taken off. So i found a ride with an amazing friend named Kelsey and we went to a Ear/Nose/Throat specialist. My doctor warned me to take to valium before i got there which is always concerning. But after talking to Janet I took the pills and before long I was a little loopy. and then i was a lot loopy. The Doc was all about it and wasted no time. All of a sudden there was a huge needle going into my mouth to numb my throat. Then another uncomfortably large needle to numb my tonsil. The Doc warned that he would not be able to numb the actual absys so it would hurt when he was lancing it. Basically he took a big knife, cut my tonsil open, drained a teaspoon of puss out. Yes. It hurt. A lot. But I am alive and supposedly the procedure will help me be able to swallow so that sometime soon i can eat food. Well my mommy dearsest is flying down here to take care of me for the rest of the week since im not really able to be up and around after being cut open. So yeah. good times.
