I've been sick for the past week. Let Johnny Pipewrench mock my pain; it's been pretty bad. In fact, I welcomed my menstrual cramps last week as a diversion. Sure, it was pain, but it was a different kind of pain.
So the doctor gave me three different kinds of medicine today. I took my first doses, but so far, my ears still feel like someone stuffed a pound of sausage into each of them and swallowing feels like childbirth (only this time I'm trying to push something in through a narrow fleshy opening).
However, I have every hope I will feel better tomorrow. Or I'll die. Either way, my misery should cease fairly soon.
I'm not coming back until I'm myself again.
