Sick.

I've been down with throat infection the past few days. The sore in my throat was so unbearable that I could hardly speak or eat. I'm feeling much better after taking some medication for it, though it still hurts slightly. I guess it must be quite bad, since the doctor gave me an MC for today.

Symptoms of tonsillitis include a severe sore throat (which may be experienced as referred pain to the ears), painful/difficult swallowing, headache, fever and chills, and change in voice causing a "hot potato" voice. Tonsillitis is characterized by signs of red, swollen tonsils which may have a purulent exudative coating of white patches (i.e. pus). There may be enlarged and tender neck cervical lymph nodes.

I don't think my throat infection is that bad, but you roughly get the picture. Hope things get really better by tomorrow, so at least I can make it for the buddy group dinner. Seems like we are going to have steamboat.
