Yellow Brick Wall

Yellow Brick Wall

I've spent a week with what I think is tonsilitis, with a bonus squeaky cough and voice loss. NHS Direct switch erratically between saying I should go to the doctor before I die and that any illness I may have is so feeble that I should probably just slink off and never darken their website again. The woman in the pharmacy, who is not a pharmacist, says it is an infection and I should see the doctor. Whereas I have enough experience with brusque doctors who just mutter "fluids, paracetamol, bye" for so many ailments that it would probably take a small army to get me to go there and say, "aaaaaaaah". On the plus side, I have managed to get a lot of reading done and to hit the medium level on Guitar Hero. On the minus side, oh you know - everything.

  • Agh, tonsillitis is the pits! If you've had it for a week, you probably need antibiotics, which unfortunately means seeing a doctor. I know it sucks, Bonnie had to drag me to the surgery kicking and screaming (well, maybe not screaming) when I had the throat infection of doom. If you can get the antibiotics though, it's worth it!

  • Oh no, being ill is rubbish :( hope you feel better soon
    I really like your blog by the way, I've never seen one like it before (perhaps I don't get out much...) but it looks great :)

    I dislike doctors for the opposite reason- last time I went with an acute illness, I ended up being put in the back of an ambulance. I am not a fan of that doctor.
    On a more serious note though, you might want to get it checked out at some point in the next few days/weeks.
