WOW!...Last week was really my worst week this year (so far)...and I'm still recovering.

Who'd have thought that something you'd experienced at least 4 times in the past (and had minimal stress with), would come at you again with such intensity, pain and discomfort, that it made you consider SURGERY as a 'fix', seriously!

TONSILITIS!!! Yep.
It was as though I was in a time warp of pain, sweats, inability to swallow, loss of taste and interest in food, sipping mostly on Gatorade and water, tossing to and fro as I tried to get some sleep each day, not even knowing what time of the day or even what the day was. No, not even what day it was. My sister (thank God for her), had a laugh at me when I asked her (on Saturday) to go into the bank for me to conduct some business on our behalf. I thought that it was Friday.
Now, whilst that ordeal was certainly bad enough, add to it a case of DIARRHEA!!! Yep.
Apparently, too much Gatorade and water, but not enough of anything else (solid) made my body engage in repeated 'elimination' for about 2 days straight, and I can honestly say (after what I saw, and...), "better out than in".

I'm not fully recovered yet (but thank God for the painkillers, antibiotics and solid food), as I haven't regained my senses of smell and taste (crucial for savouring), have a serious phlegmy after-cough, back pain, weakness, and occasional sweats. I've made an appointment for a specialist 'check-up', as I feel sure that my "inherited medical condition" has been greatly impacted by this last bout of distress, and have returned to using some natural treatments to help my body's restoration. Time will tell how soon I'll repair.

Maybe I should have taken out the da*n tonsils from the very first instance they gave me problems! Who's to say that the next time won't be deadly?
