Cursing and swearing

Just when I thought it was getting better... the sore throat is BACK WITH A VENGEANCE!

Yes, I know, enough about the sore throat already, but my life is boring, can???

Anyway. Yesterday I trooped back into the doctor's office -- same clinic, different doctor -- and he was telling me some long story about allowing the infection to run its course. "I doubt you have a fever," he said, sticking the thermometer under my tongue. Lo and behold, it showed 38ºC. "Oh! You do have a fever!"

I was thinking, "I could've TOLD you that, dumbass." (I'm not very charitable to people when I'm ill. Especially stupid doctors who think I can't be having a fever when I'm having one.)

So now I have Panadol. Again. Oh, and antibiotics.

It feels like I've got a gaping ulcer in my throat. On the left side. The doctor shone a torchlight down there and told me it was very inflamed. Of course I know it's very inflamed. My fingers can detect the swelling in my neck, just under my jaw!! Bah.

If talking weren't a problem, I would call up my dad to complain. (He's a physician, in case you didn't know.) I've had this sore throat for a week now and I want to get better so I can eat my durian mooncake!!! *cries*
