Healthy again and almost 'normal'

So two weeks ago Friday I finally was feeling better but didn't go to work. I got up around 10 and noticed spots on my forearms. Not too much latter I noticed them pretty much all over me. My roommate said it looked like a rash so I figured it was probably an allergic reaction to the antibiotic I was on. I called the clinic and they told me to stop taking it (Duh) and to go to the ER if I had problems breathing. My mouth and upper lip swelled a bit. I took some antihistimine seemed to help a bit with the swelling but not much. The next day I was worse so ended up going to a clinic again. They gave me a shot and put me on steroids. It helped with the swelling. But even now I still have some spots on my belly and back.

Next thing I might get my tonsils out. I keep getting told that I need to get them out. Considering I was sick with swollen tonsils for almost two weeks I am leaning towards getting them out. Not looking forward to it though. Will see how things go. Right now I'm happy to be healthy again despite some spots.

Sick

I have tonsillitis... I came home early on Monday and haven't been back to work since. I had gone to the Doctors on Friday afternoon and was prescribed Antibiotics for the swelling in my tonsils come Sunday I was only getting worse went to the ER and they just upped my Penicillian prescription and gave me a popsicle. So Monday after surviving half a day at work I left to go home. Got some herbal remodies that the natropath at my work suggested. That didn't help so Wed. I made an appointment with another doctor. They figured that since the antibiotics weren't helping I for sure didn't have strep or else I would have been feeling better by then. So they gave me a couple of shots (stronger antibiotic and steriods - for swelling) and sent me on to an ear, nose and throat specialist. He said that I probably had viral tonsilitis other wise antibiotics would have helped me. and if I wanted I could get my tonsils out but he suggested waiting and if I get this again then to get them out. (I heard that before back in the first years of high school) So for now no surgery. Maybe if I get sick again soon...

So I've been sitting at home all day watching first season of Friends. Might get through the whole season by the end of the week. Not planing on getting back to work till Monday at the soonest. I don't want to spread my fun to other people.
