Ugh

And I wound up going to a Doc-Inna-Box yesterday. Verdict? Throat infection (not tonsilitis, thank the gods) and pinkeye. The doc gave me a bunch of professional samples of an antibiotic and a decongestant, seeing as how I don't have any insurance. I also got a perscription for eye drops.

Nice doc. She was even friendly. I think I slightly surprised the nurse, though. When she asked what I was in for, my response was that I dealing with mucus discharge from my eyes. It was the simplest way I knew to describe it.

Do so few people use terms like that to describe ailments to their medical caregivers?

In other news, I am trying to keep up with bottemless pit that is pretending to be my stomach. I'm slowly gaining muscle, and it's starting to feel like I can't quite eat enough. Ever. Right now, part of that is my body's standard response to being sick, but I've been dealing with a milder version of this for the past few months.

And I've been healthier the past year or so than I have been for most of my life. Even with the crud I've got now. And now I need to go eat. Again.
