where is the mighty badger?
weirdly, despite not having met him, and not having seen more than a fleeting pic, i had a- dream about him last night.

sunday lunch - nut roast FTW. with mustard sauce.

weekend was great but i feel like shit today, fucking tonsillitis. anyone got any ideas on how to make it stop hurting, given that eating ice cream at my desk all day is sadly not an option?

we have one off on holiday
and one in court on a trial. bad time to be ill! anyway i'm fine, just in a lot of pain - i don't have a headache or anything, just the fucking throat.

you don't realise how many times a day you swallow until it feels like you are swallowing a fistful of broken glass every time!

That won't stop the pain though
At least there are people to take it out on at work. I suspect Swipe needs an audience when she is unwell...

my boss would send me home. a lifetime of the world's least sympathetic parents means that being ill is the one thing i can't dramatise.

of my trainees are allowed bacon in the office. it reeks. they can have it in the staff restaurant. if they really want to eat rancid pig fat.

No one can resist bacon, not even vegimentalists
(wehttamman via B3ta for microwave, Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:44, Reply)

nope
it's the one thing that broke all my friends back when we were teenage veggies. but i am the strongest type of veggie there is. no principles... just fussy. i hate the fucking stuff. therefore i shall never ever eat it.

however, IF something goes horribly wrong and i ever have a kid, it will be made to eat meat as part of a healthy diet until it is about 15 and old enough to choose responsibly.

Penicillin

yup, totally
but it'll still hurt like a total bitch for about 3 days. i normally alternate lemsip with reeeeally cold drinks to try and stop it, but wondered if anyone had any better suggestions?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:33, Reply)

Yeah, 3 dys is about the time it takes for the antibiotics to kick in for bacterial tonsilitis.
If it's viral you'll feel shit for a week or two, if you don't take antibiotics you'll probably feel shit for a week or two.

Unless of course it isn't tonsilitis and you've just got a bit of a sore throat and a case of the snuffly wufflies. In which case MTFU.

nah, this bitch is tonsillitis alright, i've had it before
i get it about once every 2 years, nowhere near enough or badly enough to have them out, just enough to give me a reeeeally miserable 3 days. it feels like i've been deepthroating a mach 3.

Try any old antibiotics you have knocking about the house.
If they are the right sort, they will work quickly.

No.
Nothing like that.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:54, Reply)

In fact, dont' even bother checking if they are antibiotics, just start necking any pills you have lying around the house

(Bazongaloid, Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:52, Reply)

Obv check they are antibiotics and prescribed to you originally.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:53, Reply)

Or blue
If they are blue it's fine
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:55, Reply)

I'd be concerned that, if you're the sort of person who doesn't finish course of antibiotics, despite it being critical that you do so
that you are probably the sort of person who doesn't keep their antibiotics in a suitable place i.e. not in the bathroom where the humidity can rapidly cause the active ingredients to degrade

Not worked on your ear ache?

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Mon 10 Oct 2011, 11:09, Reply)

Not really
It stopped hurting but still deaf and all other symptom persist. Might be beginning to see the other side of it now (nearly 2 weeks in) Off to the docs in a bit, hoping they can stop me being deaf at least.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Mon 10 Oct 2011, 11:23, Reply)

Ear doesn't hurt but is still deaf.
I have what feels like a heavy cold, which I assume is related to the ear infection as it's lasted two weeks, anti-biotics have made no reall difference. susupect it's viral.
