Tonsil Trouble


Argh! After a week or two of feeling poorlyish I woke up with a severe sore throat on Wednesday night. I had gone to bed really early as I felt pretty dreadful and woke up at 1am extremely confused and unable to swallow with any ease. Usually this wouldn't bother me too much and I would just put up with it but the thought of being ill in China pushed me to make an appointment with the GP. Amazingly instead of the usual 2 week waiting list I managed to get an appointment this morning and after a 10 second inspection of my throat was told I had mild tonsilitis and immediately given a week long course of Penicillin to take. This will run until the departure date for China by which time I'm hoping they will have gone down and I'll be feeling much better. Talk about bad timing! I have to take 2 tablets four times a day, a total of 2g penicillin/day! Just another few pills to add to my daily quota :)
I picked up the remainder of my prescription for going to China today, this pile in the picture will do me for the 25 days we are away, 125 in total!
