So this weekend i could feel myself slowly dying. I had a soar throat for a few weeks and it slowly began to worsen throughout Saturday by night time i couldn't eat solid food, by the time i was off to lay down i couldn't even drink water any more. Needless to say i was a tad freaked out and did not sleep. and still my throat began to swell up more to the point where i could exhale air out and you'd hear my uvla flap open and shut but i could not inhale air thru my mouth. Wich was a rather large concern for me; when i layed down my nose would clogg up. luckly i am on military orders to go to afghan so i do have medical coverage atleast while working so i had to tough it out thru the weekend. So one more night rocking back and forth with no sleep freaking out every time my nostril began to get stuffy and i was off to see a doc.
I get there and have to wait like about 3 hours breathing threw one nostril and unable to talk or anything because they cant find some papper for they're file system. Once i finally get scene the doc looks in my throat and says "holy shit" then runs out of the room. I began to think to myself maybe this is pretty bad. The doctor proceeds to get several specilists to check it out and see what they think as well, then brings in a bunch of new trainee's so they can see how messed up my tonsil's and uvla are. After that i get a shot of steroids and a shot of bicillan in my ass (of coarse). then im giving a lovely bottle of liquid hydrocodon (which is just lovely by the way). Then was told to return on tuesday and if it got anywore go directly to the emergency room.
So i get back to the hostital on tuesday papperwork still all screwed up but i can eat, drink, breath threw my mouth at this point so i don't even care. The ear nose and throat specilists came in and checked it out and "palpated" the region; which if you dont know what that is i'll tell you, its...

The ear nose and throat specilists came in and checked it out and "palpated" the region; which if you dont know what that is i'll tell you, its when some jerk jams his finger down your throat as far as he can andslids it up and down one side then the other side for comparrison. So after being throat rapped by the E.N.T. guy he decides its necessary to suck the puss out of my tonsil with a 10 guage needle and its my lucky day cus they're all out of local anasthetic so i got like 2 squirts of that numbing spray which pretty much just gave me a bad taste in my mouth that about it, then he proceeded to stab my tonsil a good dozen time suckin out about 3cc's of grose thick puss.
so yeah FML.
