Where I Have Been

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged so I’ll explain what has kept me away.

About 3 weeks ago now I developed a case of tonsillitis and on top of that some sort of sever throat infection that left me unable to swallow both foods and liquids. To fix this I ended up getting penicillin shots to my ass for a week and tried to swallow painkillers. My only source of “food” were icy poles that I could only swallow with a chaser of water after each bite, it was painful. During that week I lost 6kgs and quite a bit of money getting the shots at the doctors every day. The bastard doctor charged my $50 each morning I saw him for the shot when I was in the room for no longer than 5 minutes max, I even paid for the shots from the chemist myself so he wasn’t charging me for that either.

After going through that week of pain and utter boredom I returned to work feeling pretty good, that soon changed as the weekend approached. I started to get what I thought was a cold and ended up being sick for the entire weekend, Rachel was also sick on the weekend of her own birthday party but like a trooper she pulled through ok. On the Sunday night we went to bed once again I felt deathly. I kept having hot and cold flushes, at one point I would be sweating so much there was a patch of water on the bed then not too long after I would be so cold I would be shivering un-controllably. Needless to say something was wrong.

I stumbled out of bed on Monday morning feeling terrible still suffering from a terrible fever but I had to try and make myself go because I didn’t have a lot of sick leave left after having the week off work when I had my throat infection. So off I went in a daze to work, luckily for me there’s wasn’t a great deal to do for once so I went and hid out the back near the screw store I am supposed to be re-organising. During morning smoke-o I went into the office and sat at my desk on the computer when my boss came up and told me that he appreciates the effort I’ve put in to come to work but I look like shit and really should get some rest, I happily obliged.

I spent the entire week at home in bed again slowly going insane. I went to the doctors on Tuesday and he said I have tonsillitis, but this time I think he was wrong as I don’t have a sore throat. I’m fairly certain I may have glandular fever as when I went to the doctors when I had my throat infection they said I would have to wait for the tonsillitis to clear up then get blood tests, so chances are tomorrow I’ll be booking myself in at the quack to find out what’s wrong with me.

I’m quite angry at the outcome, I’ve missed the entire Easter weekend which should have been filled with nights of clubbing and excessive drinking. The minor outings I have had were fun and it was good to get out of my bedroom. I think I’ve lost more weight this week as the thought of eating makes me feel pretty I’ll.

On the up side the AIHL starts next week and I will be going to at leat one of the matches come hell or high water so I hope to see some of you there.
