I am a sore sore throat...

Prognosis
My throat hurts so bad right now I don't even wanna talk...I whisper when I'm on the phone and it sounds ridiculous...Yikes, ME? Not talk? Damn, that's like asking a fish NOT to swallow water...man oh man will I be suffering. If you don't know me and how much I can talk, then you don't know me...times like these AIM is a total blessing in disguise. I hate when I'm sick for a while and my imagination runs away with it and I think I might have something. So since my throat was hurting so bad, I decided to look up tonsilitis, for fear that I might have to get a tonsilectomy...fear, which is two-fold. 1) I have a huge fear of doctors...I think sometimes, they WANT something to be wrong w/ you, and hence get more $$$ and B) I have no health insurance, and I think the costs of a surgery would be substantial, so I'd rather not. Anyway, I think I might have it, but was glad to know that tonsilectomy is done too often and is many times not necessary. There are several reasons for getting it, if it constricts breathing(which it isn't), if it happens more than 7 times in a year(it's March, and this is my 1st), severe tonsilitis(I'm not dying so, I don't think it is), and a couple of other things. I'm gonna follow w/ the remedies and stuff and cross my fingers. Plus I'll be at a retreat for most of the weekend, so maybe I'll pray about it too... But I hate how looking up stuff makes you think you have everything. I remember once I thought I was Bipolar because I read some article about it and I totally self-diagnosed it, crazy...power of suggestion I tell you.

I had a million things that were on my mind but I can't seem to hold a thought for very long right now...so, next time nalang....BUT, I DO have some... Appreciations for the day...
