Turns out I have such a bad case of strep that it has taken over my entire mouth, tongue, and even lips, not to mention my throat. I was unaware that strep could cause blisters on a person's lips, but apparently I'm living proof. My doctor said he was surprised I could eat or drink at all as inflamed as it is. Of course I replied that I'm really not eating. It freaking hurts too bad to eat! When I put food in my mouth it feels like I'm on fire! I've had lots of Sprite, but not much else for the last 5 days. My stomach is now in permanent growl mode.
My almost sister has witnessed what happens after I don't eat for just 8 hours. We had a huge argument and didn't really speak for a couple of weeks because I had a major, stomping temper tantrum in the middle of Las Vegas from hunger. So just imagine what I'm like after 5 days! It is not pretty, people, not pretty at all. I'm a nice person most of the time. I'm polite and generally agreeable, but when I'm hungry I turn into the Wicked Witch of Central Texas.
I have discovered though that after the wicked phase, I become simply pathetic. I'm weepy and pouty. I can't sleep and I don't even feel like watching TV which are 2 of my favorite hobbies! HELP!!! If anyone knows something I can eat that won't feel like I just gargled a gallon of jalapeno juice, please please send it to me!
Everything burns! |
