At what point do you just break down and cry? ARG. This is my question of the day. Things were going well, out of the hospital, feeling better, car got repaired, etc. So when I leave work yesterday with this odd feeling of something stuck in my throat, arrive home and see these NASTY white, puss-like things all swollen and yes, stuck in my throat, I want to cry. It HURTS. Problem is that I don't know what it is. My Love had something similar once that was just a result of high fevers (which I did have), however, upon researching this further on webmd.com it could also be Strep Throat or even Mono. What the hell?? I've never had either, but I come out of the hospital and get SICKER then I was when I went in?? Grrr grrr grr.

So....now, called around and found the name of the doctor who admited me. She's an Internalist and could help me with this throat thing. Problem is that she's not in her office today, she's on hospital rounds. Arg. I cold get an appointment tomorrow, but...everyone tells me that if it's Strep then I need to see someone today with focus on the TODAY part. Grr again. All I know is that whatever the hell this is, I got it from the damned hospital, but I'll be the one stuck paying for it. Life is just not fair. So now I'm looking at either a walk-in clinic (but that requires up front payment) or the ER again (which I don't want to go to even if I've lost several limbs). My next idea is to try to call my old Primary care Dr. but...he's over 25 miles away, so it's hard appointment-wise. Plus, his office was always really busy even normally. *sighs* All I know is that I want to know what the hell this is and how to get it out of my throat. (being able to speak again would be a plus too)

If you didn't guess, right about now, I'm really bitter. And on hold. For like ten minutes now. When I have time to sit and rant because I'm waiting on New Accounts to get back to me, they've got a hold issue. But, that's a rant for another day.
