Oh, God, you guys, I've been going through hell this weekend.

Emergency rooms, doctors.. Apparently my sore throat was not a sore throat but a Peritonsillar abscess. Yeah, it even sounds bad.

Yesterday morning they stuck needles (AND a scalpel. A FREAKING SCALPEL) down my throat trying to drain it, but I have the worst gagging reflext. After like an hour I couldn't take it anymore, and he said he just needed to check if he got all of it, but I just couldn't, so we came home hoping it was all over, except today I can feel it getting larger in my throat. >.< Will have to go through it all again today and I don't even know if it's going to completely work. Stupid. Fucking. Gagging. Reflext. Also my tongue is abnormally large. Or my mouth too small. Or both.

And, yes, I'm only posting here to complain. Also I felt like you should know. Also my midterms are this week. Don't call because I can't really talk.

[Edit- 7:00 pm]

Wow. I have more self-control that I gave myself credit for.

After cutting the abcess with the scalpel again, he went in with scissors and enlarged the cut o_O I managed to keep my mouth open despite the gagging and the blood gushing into my mouth. YES. PRAISE ME. *cough* But, serously, I know some people can and have endured much worse things, but everything's relative and for me personally this is a big accomplishment. Now I'm happy to be home and spitting blood out all the time.

At least I found out I'm not afraid of or disgusted by blood because I've been spitting out a lot of it, mixed with gross pus, the last two days and I was fine with that part at least.

Also, I'm never using the expression "shoved down the throat" lightly again. Ever.
