A cute tonsillitis


Yesterday I was told that I have "acute tonsillitis". I guess that means I don't need my tonsils out, but I need to take some medication and rest. For those of you not familiar with tonsillitis, it is the inflammation of the tonsils in the back of your throat. Sore throat + fever + 2 nights of no sleep = grumpy Aaron. I decided to visit the UN doctor yesterday. She said I needed to start antibiotics right away - she thinks it's a bacterial infection. I'm not sure how she figured that out without a swab, but hey, they do medicine differently here. I've been popping some pills for a day and I feel better. Hopefully I'll have the bacteria/virus beat in the next couple of days. The pic is of my throat with some of the pussy infection highlighted for your viewing pleasure.
