On Sunday night, my throat started hurting. It was just a dull pain, and I thought maybe I had eaten something with a rough edge and I scratched my throat (TRUST ME, I HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE), so I just let it be.
Monday morning, my tonsils were starting to swell. No big deal, I just ignored it. By Monday afternoon my throat hurt more and my ears were starting to hurt, so I took some painkillers. Mom told me to go to the clinic, but since it cost monies and I have very little monies right now. I said I would wait until tomorrow and see if I felt better.
This morning I woke up (after a night of tossing and turning) to throbbing pain in my ears and jaw, and my throat is so swollen I can't even drink water and swallowing spit takes an insane amount of effort. I also looked in my mouth in the mirror and there's this weird filmy stuff on my tonsils. It makes my throat feel weird and ohgod it's SO GROSS ;A;
So yeah, going to the clinic today. Hopefully it doesn't drain my bank account, I need that money to pay my other bills while I look for a job.
Sob I wish we had universal healthcare in America.
