Mallonge... ĉar mi havis matene febron da dek-tri farenhejtgradoj

Estas vere! This morning I had a fever that measured in at 103 degrees Farenheit, and it may have been even higher during portions of the night. So naturally, I didn't go to school today. Hopefully that will change tomorrow. I am determined to end my spate of chronic sinus infections which have left me severely ill about 8 times in the last 2-3 years. In fact, sinus infections have been the only major health problem that I have had during this period. It is a chronic condition, as I am always blowing my nose and coughing up drainage even when I am not bedridden. The plan goes like this:

Phase 1 - A comprehensive 2-4 week course of antibiotics (Yes, I know. This is ultimately leading to the downfall of mankind by increasing bacterial resistance, but for the sake of god, what is one to do: be bedridden for the rest of their life? I can't just all of a sudden fight off this chronic infection (believe me I've already tested the theory of increasing immunity by exposing oneself to bacteria; it doesn't work).).

Phase 2 - Reassessment by physician.

Phase 3 - Possible CAT scan of sinuses to determine the extent of any remaining infection and identify any structural defects in the sinus cavities.

Phase 4A - Possible referral to Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist to assess the situation and consider surgical procedures.

Phase 4B - Possible treatment for year-round allergies.

Phase 5A - Possible surgical procedure.

My mother claims that I need to have my tonsels and adnoids removed in order to rectify the ague, but I am not convinced of this, nor will I be convinced of anyone else's piddling little opinions unless they are qualified medical professionals. Needless to say, the ague hath left me of late. Oh, and I've also had this hacking cough recently. So now I take this codine-narcotic prescription cough-suppresant at night. I can't even imagine how many brain cells this whole bout of illness will end up killing. It's unfathomable.
