I went to the hospital last saturday to see a doctor about my throat. you know, i can't even remember the last time i went to the hospital to see a doctor. i usually go twice a year to get my blood work, i don't even see the doctor, i just call him. but last time i remember was when i went to the university clinic to see a doctor about my stomach in january '05. i remember i just finished up my second M1T/4-AD cycle and i had a slight case of gyno... it scared the shit outta me. so, i kept increasing my nolvadex dosage til i reached 80 mg/day. well, apparently one of the side effects of that high a dose is ... well.. severe constipation i guess. I never read about that side effect, but all i know is that i couldn't shit for ten days... and i was still eating my 5-6 meals/day... don't even try to imagine how that feels like cuz you'll never knowl... i felt so relieved when i shit out 2 kilos of... well... shit... anyways... back to the hospital... i think i remember why i've always hated hospitals. first of all, they defy the whole point of getting better. you go sit in a waiting room full of about 200 people... all sick... with different illnesses.. so, you're bound to get even more sick by just waiting in that room. you have a cold? you go back home with a cold, and an ear infection... anyway... the cool thing about the hospital i went to was that they don't schedule appointments for ENT doctors. so, i had to wait for 2 and a half hours to see the f***er. lots of fun when you're waiting that long... sick... especially when you run out of strepsils on your 38th minute of waiting... finally, my turn. i went in and told him "doctor, i have a really bad case of tonsilitis. i've never seen an infection like this"... so he says "you mean a sore throat?" i said "no.. i mean an infection. i can see bacterial colonies on my tonsils!! so you don't have to do a colony test and waste more time. i've been on 1500 mg of amoxycillan for the past 2 days and it's not helping. i need something stronger." .... So, the doctor puts me on his chair that he stole from the chucky cheese pizza place... you know the chair i'm talking about... don't act stupid. anyway, starts poking my tonsils with a q-tip on steroids (you know, the 3 foot long q-tips doctors use to aggrevate patients). turned on his flash light and almost jumped in my stomach. anyway, after wasting 25 minutes of his, my, and all the people waiting outside's time... he says "you have an infection".... REALLY?? NO SHIT??? who would've guessed?? .... he gave me some antibiotic (they're supposed to be strong... but i haven't noticed shit).. and he said he'd prescribe a strong pain killer for me (i told him i had trouble sleeping from the pain). went to the pharmacy.... took the "strong pain killers"... fevadol... f***ing fevadol... 7 years of med school to tell me that i have an infection, and give me fevadol. i went back home... tired... in pain... my throat is all dry and swollen... i couldn't talk... and all i had was f***ing fevadol...
well, since i've already wasted 2 months on shrinking and not eating like i should (marriage, honeymoon, infection) i'm not taking my tonsils out til after the contest. i can't afford to spend 3 more weeks not eating anything... oh, and they advise eating ice cream to bring down the swelling after a tonsillectamy... not only will i shrink... i'll get fat too... then you can just hand me a gun and close the door on your way out...
