If you’re aware from my tweets, I had tonsillitis last week, it was really bad. I’m still on antibiotics until tomorrow, I’m feeling fine now though. It started on Monday night, I had a sore throat and I could feel it swelling up and I thought oh no I’m gonna have one of my typical sore throats again because I do have quite bad sore throats anyway. So I didn’t have any throat spray because George had used the last of mine.
I asked if anyone had any vodka so I could drink it neat and kill whatever was there but no-one had any so I had to go without, so I took some Ibuprofen to hopefully bring down the swelling so I could go to the chemist in the morning for a throat spray.

About 11pm I was really cold and I needed to have a shower anyway so I put my heating on for 15 mins and got in the shower and had a nice hot shower and when I got out I was quite warm. I was tired and was up at 7.45am the next day so I decided to get some sleep. At 2am however I was very hot which I didn’t understand because my heating wasn’t on so I opened my window and threw the covers off me to cool down but so I didn’t get a chill. I still wasn’t cooling down though however and I felt like shit at this point, my throat was still killing me and I was so hot so I thought to myself “I’ve got a fever here” so I got a cold compress to put on my head and rang my mum to tell her I really didn’t feel well and she said she’d pick me up.
Luckily I only live about 20 mins away from uni so it didn’t take long for her to get here so she came and picked me up. I’d collected some stuff for a few days and then my mum took me home. I still had a fever but i managed to get a bit of sleep.
The next day I could hardly swallow my throat was swollen that badly I had to drink water through a straw and solid foods weren’t happening at all. I was so dehydrated as well because of the fever but I couldn’t drink the amount I wanted which killed me.
When she checked on me in the afternoon she had a look in my throat and she saw how bad it was and I still had a fever so she rang the doctor but they were like “oh we dont have any appointments until thursday” and my mum was like “she needs to see a doctor now” and the woman was like “ring the walk in centre” so my mum rang to see how long the wait was and then we drove to the walk in centre.

I waited about 40 minutes then I saw the first nurse who assessed me and she took my temperature and my pulse and I was 102F which is 39.5C which is really quite high and my pulse was 138 and I was sat down! so the nurse was like O.O I’ll put you on an urgent. So I went back in the waiting room and 5 minutes later I saw the senior nurse who told me I had to take paracetamol and ibuprofen every few hours and she gave me penicillin as well because she diagnosed me with tonsillitis.

I had to take the penicillin every 6 hours so I had to get up at 6am and go to sleep at 12am every night.
The pills also gave me really bad stomach ache so on thursday I went to the doctors and got my pills changed to another antibiotic which worked.
I’m on my last day today wooooot :)

The only thing that bummed me out was it was George’s birthday weekend last weekend and all his friends came up and I couldn’t go because I was still ill :( :( :(

I’ve got a lot of assignments coming up so I don’t know when I’ll be able to blog but I will soon

I dont get really many soar throughts anymore, but I still get sick alot :P. I have a kinda bad immune system :(.

Wow 102 F D:. Aww I think my most recent temperature when I was sick was around that, maybe a bit lower :(.

I had tonsilitis when I was 3. I don’t really remember it that well, but I had really bad tonsilitis and I was in hospital for about a week. I had to have injections and have my tonsils removed. Hope you’re feeling better, illnesses are such a bummer.

Who the hell is Darren? o.0 Sounds like I’m not the only one who hates you. And I’m not a guy.

Oh and hi again… but tut tut, you can’t get rid of me that easily ;) Care to keep trying? lmao

FAIL!

Hey! Sorry I haven’t kept in touch with you!

Ouch, sorry to hear that you have tonsillitis!!! My friend had that once and she said that the sore throats were horrible and you could barely swallow. :( I hope you feel better soon!

Car says: November 12th, 2009 at 7:34 pm Mozilla Firefox Mozilla Firefox 3.0.12 Windows Windows XP

Aww I hate it when you can’t do anything about it. =/ That sucks, but at least you and your flatmate have decided to stick up for George if anything happens.

Sorry to hear you had tonsilitis, sounds like it gave you a pretty bad time! Luckily I’ve never had it, though I know a number of people who have. Aww, damn. It’s not fair when you have to miss people’s birthdays cuz you’re ill. At least you’re feeling better now though!

Gillian says: November 12th, 2009 at 11:23 pm Mozilla Firefox Mozilla Firefox 3.0.15 Windows Windows Vista

Nah don’t worry about it. I appreciate it enough that you actually reply, even though it’s not right away, it’s better than not replying at all haha.

LOL congrats on going two weeks without being drunk!

LMAO I like that facebook group. I totally agree with it, so I would join as well. xD That’s so true though, 3 days of being together doesn’t mean you’re in love.

Aweh sorry to hear that you cried cause of the kitchen frustration, but yeah.. crying is always a good way to just release everything.

LOL the shoes thing really works. You should try it out.

Omg tonsillitis?! That’s scary. D: Good to hear that you’re feeling better than before though.

That’s pretty convenient that uni is only 20 mins away! But omg, that sounds so horrible not even being able to eat or swallow anything. I would go crazzzyyy. D:

Bleh the pills and penicillin you were forced to take didn’t sound pleasant at all, but I guess you had to do whatever it took to cure you!

That’s awesome that it’s your last day and then you can go back to normal, YAY!

Best of luck completing those assignments.

Hey Kat!

Don’t worry about that :) Uni is more important!

Hehe, yeah I guess B3 really weren’t that popular in the end.. I just tended to stumble upon a lot of weird bands back then xD

Oh wow.. how can a girl be like that?! Like seriously, things like that just don’t want to get inside my head. I really can’t imagine a girl being that slutty and hook up with just some random guys.

Any guys would deserve better than that.. but does George know about all the stuff she did to her ex-boyfriend or doesn’t he want to hear it?

Hehe, yeah thats true. He can be really happy to have a friend like you on his side :) And who knows, maybe some day he’ll realize what’s good?!

——-

Woah! That sounds soo bad. I would’ve probably died.. I really hate it when my throat hurts in any kind of way.. but glad you’re feeling better now :)

Seriously, some doctors are weird.. you could be “dieing” and they tell you that they don’t have any appointments. If it wouldn’t be an emergency your mum wouldn’t make such a big deal and would’ve asked for an appointment right away…

Didn’t you get to meet George’s friends anyways? I think I read some tweets of you that said something like that…

Oh and WTF is up with that person up there pretending to be you?!

Mandi says: November 13th, 2009 at 10:37 pm Mozilla Firefox Mozilla Firefox 3.0.15 Windows Windows XP

Aww I hope you feel you feel better really soon :)

Yeah, I just love my site soo much it helps me get less stressed, but then when i have soo much homework im mad because I can’t work on my site :(

Tiffany says: November 14th, 2009 at 5:32 am Internet Explorer Internet Explorer 7.0 Windows Windows Vista

Awwww. Well at least you’re getting better!

And thanks for the advice. I feel like the people who comment on my site care more about me than my actual friends. Thanks for everything :)

Georgina says: November 14th, 2009 at 11:25 am Mozilla Firefox Mozilla Firefox 3.5.5 Windows Windows Vista

Oh my god! *BIG BEAR HUG* That must have been terrifying. I feel so sorry for you after reading this blog. I hope you’re better now.

That’s so sweet your mum came by to help you. :’) And lucky you don’t live that far, too.

Sometimes I get worried when I am feeling really hot when everyone is cold or vice versa; it makes me think there’s something wrong and I probably have a fever.

It sucks that you were dehydrated as well and couldn’t swallow anything. T_T And I’m sorry you missed out on George’s birthday! :(

HUU. Well, good luck with that. If something goes way too far you have to tell George. He can’t be hurt like this. And clingy people suckkkk. D:

Thank you! ;D

Haha yeah. I always feel like that… what am I supposed to say if all you’ve got to talk about is your boyfriend? :S :S And yeah, “taking the piss” – definitely.

Georgina says: November 14th, 2009 at 11:27 am Mozilla Firefox Mozilla Firefox 3.5.5 Windows Windows Vista

To the pathetic “Kat” posting on this blog with the site “rainbowcrap” and posting random shit in the cbox, just move your immature ass and stop posting those comments. You’ve clearly shown us how you don’t have anything better to do or you just like to annoy people who simply react numbly towards you. Your attempts at annoying people are not working at all, to anyone, so you might as well cut it out.

Sorry to hear about you getting sick, hope everything turned out OK :)
I’m so jealous of you right now, my university is over 45-50 mins. away from my home, it’s awful!!

Peace.

Awe, Kat, hope you’re feeling better now! I’ve never had tonsillitis, but it sounds like it wasn’t very fun!

(wow… that fake “Kat” is being… Extremely immature.)

Hey affie,
I’m so sorry for being such a bad affie lately. I know this is irrelevant to the blog, but I just want to tell you that I am going on a two weeks hiatus. Please don’t delete me.

Awww. It sounds really bad. You have to drink a lot of medicines :| I’ve never had tonsillitis before so I don’t know how it feels. Well, get well soon though!

Hey!

And don't worry about the reply – take your time.
