... you go to the dentist and the first thing he says is, "Oh, my God! Take a look at those tonsils!" At which point the assistant also looks, and is suitably impressed. Yes, I had known from the pain and constant coughing that my throat was not completely better. it was just strange to hear it, considering the doctor at urgent care told me it was just allergies and would clear up in a couple of days. Mom wants me to get them out. Because I can just up and tell my manager I need the next week off to get my tonsils out. Assuming I wanted to deal with any sort of major surgery. Which I don't. So, here's to hoping my throat gets better. I think it will, because I always have this problem in the spring, and it sort of fades through the summer. But then, I had a real doozy of a cold this time, so who knows?
