Dismantle. Repair.

Well an update on how i am going, in reply to the doctors thing yesterday.

i thought that i had the flu, or at least, a very bad cold.
i went to the doctor, and he happened to inform me, after one look at my throat, that i have a throat infection.

my tonsils are all swollen, red and oozing mucus. which makes swallowing very fun (read: not fun at all, hurts a lot).
so over the past few days (i started getting sick about a week ago, but really bad Friday night. i slept really well Friday and Saturday nights. but Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights have all been very lacking in sleep. all because i cant swallow without pain).

anyway, so he prescribed me some pills, and some mouth gargle stuff.

i also wanted him to check out my moles, and after looking at most of them (i have a few) he decided he wants to remove one from my upper chest, just so it doesn't get any worse/melanomic and remove one from my lower back to have tests done on it to see if he should remove the other two there.

so, i have taken the day off work (after missing uni this week too), cause i didn't think it would be very helpful to be speaking for 8 hours straight when my throat is inflamed...


and i am taking a concoction of pills. my antibiotics (twice a day, right before food), horseradish and garlic tablets, also before food. and two panadol.


and the lump on my neck isn't a cyst or anything to worry about. its just an enlarged gland. so that's reassuring.
