strep?

So this morning I was still in severe pain, so I called my boss and kind of whispered into the phone that I was really sick. She came to pick me up an hour later and took me to an ear, nose, and throat doctor. Just like the previous doctor, I was seen immediately. When I opened my mouth, barely said "ah" and winced in pair, tears welling in my eyes, it was evident to him that I've got a throat infection. He said I also have an ear and nose infection. My uvula is swollen up like 4 times its normal size. It is literally touching my tongue, and every time I swallow I feel like I am gagging on it (along with all the knife-scraping pain). I've barely spoken in almost 3 days. But now it feels like it's getting worse. My ears are ringing and and my throat is throbbing even without swallowing now. Maybe it gets better before it gets worse? I don't know... but there's no way I can teach like this.

He gave me antibiotics, but also said if it's no better tomorrow to come back in. At this rate, I'll be there when they open! For the second day in a row I've done nothing but go to the hospital, and stay in bed. Though today I received 2 shots in the butt instead of one! Still don't know what they're injecting me with.....

Hope everyone else is staying well! This is no way to enjoy the finally amazing weather!
