If you want to see the real thing, come on over, I'd be happy to show you. :)

White Bumps
I haven't had a fever in a while but I have had a sore throat, ear ache, headache, stuffy nose, bad taste in my mouth, etc. I figured it was just a virus and I had to wait it out. Well, after two weeks of "waiting" it out, I decided to go see a doctor. Apparently my tonsils are covered in white bumps! (No wonder I had a bad taste in my mouth) Sure enough, I have a baceteria infection otherwise known as tonsillitis. The doctor also said it appears I have been exposed to mono, whatever that means. He gave me an antibiotic to take twice a day for 10 days. That doesn't seem so bad until you see the size of the pills, they are HUGE! Anyone who really knows me knows I am challenged when it comes to swallowing a pill. So, I have a sore throat, it hurts to swallow, and I have to take these gigantic pills twice a day. Does anyone feel sorry for me yet?

Oh Yuck (my boys thought the picture was VERY cool!)!!! Hope you're feeling better soon!
Cheryl....ugh!!! NO fun at all, bless your heart! Take care of yourself and have Brian get you lots of popsicles and ice cream :)!!
I was feeling a little neglected when you hadn't checked up on us lately (we were all deathly ill) but now I feel guilty for feeling neglected. Sorry . . . good luck with those pills.
Oh Cheryl, I feel bad for you! I am so sorry! I hope that you get feeling better soon! I am glad that the picture didn't show up on my computer because just reading your symptoms made me a little queasy. The picture may have made me faint...again!
Scott says that is gross! Mine used to look like that until I had them removed! Hope you feel better soon.
So sorry to hear that Cheryl. You must feel miserable. Hope you get better soon.
