I was on the internet last night trying to do some research about my recent loss of taste. I cannot taste anything after the first sip or bite, it becomes a sickly sweet taste instead. I hate it.
During my surfing I cam across some pictures of Bacterial Tonsillitis. So off I went into the bathroom with a flashlight and sure enough i have a white plug of what I assume is bacteria, exactly where Dr.Google said it would be.
I have a sore throat or a cough three weeks out of four, all year long. My tonsils often become inflamed, but I have never seen an actual doctor about it. Where I live you must have 12 diagnosed cases of tonsillitis in a 12 month period to have your tonsils removed, and with three kids? That is WAY too much of a hassle. Not to mention that should I feel ill, make an appointment, by the time I see my doctor, the symptoms would be gone. He has a two to three week wait time to get in to see him.
Don't bitch, He is an excellent doctor and a that makes him worth the wait.
So schedule the appointment ahead of time. You know you have it 3 weeks out of 4, so schedule it now!
ReplyDeleteI hear you. It's hard enough keeping up with one kid's slew of doctors appts and school activities and whathaveyou. Heaven forbid you get sick enough for a doctor, which involves even more child wrangling and scheduling then (sometimes) you're willing to invest into getting an appt. Half the time I get sick and just hide on the couch in a pillow fort playing with the Toddler until I get better. Unless it's a sickness that can be helped by a medication, what's the doctor going to tell me? Rest? Drink fluids? Take some tylenol if I feel like it?
