I am having one of the worst health episodes ever!

A week ago (yes, last friday evening) I felt the dreaded "fat throat" kicking in, you know where you can feel that its about to explode and its about then that you decide to cram every tasty food imaginable into your mouth because within hours you will lose the ability to distinguish flavours.  Well food scrum aside, I managed to retain my sense of taste, but I lost all ability to move my neck.  One of my glands was worthy of casting in some B grade horror and the other was trying to make out like it was normal.  The right hand side of my neck was arnie sized and boy did it throb.  I couldn't swallow without pulling the ugliest face in the world so I resorted to sleeping in the hope that the cocktail of antis' I had taken would resolve my problem (and it also helped that when you sleep you don't swallow).  Monday morning arrived and I felt like I had gone 10 rounds with tyson.  Whether or not that was due to the antis' or whether it was due to the second neck I was growing I dragged my sorry arse into work and managed to function until about 10 am where I dragged my sorry arse home.  Went to the docs and yes, she confirmed what I had already assumed ... glandular fever.  The funny thing was when she went to check my throat she got as far as ... "say ahh... nevermind, no wonder your throat is sore ... oh you poor dear, have you seen this ?"  She loaded me up with more prescriptions and I went home to sleep ...  today is Friday and I have yet to manage a full day at work.  Tuesday I didnt even get out of bed, I sent a few garbled texts to to various people at 6am and then proceeded to grab a fistful of antis' and knock myself out, wednesday I managed to get to work and was home again by lunchtime, same with thursday and I was starting to come right, this morning I wake up at 2am unable to breathe and swallowing was pure suicide.  I did manage to get to work and was told by all in sundry that I looked like shit.  I got back to the office and slunk into my car and nearly hit my boss as she rounded into our carpark (doesn't help that she uses both sides of the road).  She ended up getting someone to drive her truck to my house so she could drive me home.  Now whilst I have been concentrating on Anti inflamms to bring down the swelling and the pain in my neck, I have had to resort to a more solid course of Anti biotics to kill the throat infection and the phlegm infested coughing fits that have manifested.

I hate being sick, I'm a shitty patient and I hate missing work.

I'm in a foul mood and the only saving grace I have is that the documentary channel is up and running and I can attempt to learn something.

I hope everyone else is faring better than me ...

Still no job yet ...
