Sick and Better again in 24 hours

Dear Characters,

I've managed to get sick and better very quickly like I usually do. The only thing I didn't like about my getting better was the help of a doctor. However when my grandmother takes care of me she 'knows' what is best.

The night before last I was getting this pain in my throat. The pain was very minimal at first and I made sure to drink some hot tea with honey, twice. That however didn't keep it from getting worse as the night went on and eventually swallowing was feeling as enjoyable as broken glass down the same pipe. I couldn't sleep well that night and I spent the day laying down doing my damnedest not to swallow anything at all. Meaning dehydration and no food, an ugly combination.

My grandmother went ahead and scheduled a doctors appointment at two. We went and he pretty much said "You'll have to suffer, just get something into your system, you don't want to go to the hospital." Then he perscribed some medication and a shot, which I received in his office. I suddenly felt like I needed to throw up, whatever was in that shot was not very helpful.

Moments later I fainted from an upright standing position. Fainting is one of the most interesting experiences of my life and I'm sad to say it was from some medicine. I would rather faint by getting a knock out punch rather than medication... When I came two everyone was hovering over me, especially my worried grandmother. I wasn't hurt, I actually thought the whole experience was humorous. Apparently on my way down I bumped my chin on the counter which alerted everyone else who wasn't in the room, I also knocked over my grandmother but I didn't know that either until the story after. I think it is the most interesting thing in the world to be standing up in a doctors office one moment and then the next moment you're on the floor with everyone watching you and a blank gap on how you got there. Fainting is like falling asleep, and when you wake up it's really dream like.

Everyone helped me into a wheel chair, if my throat wasn't so swollen I would have said "I feel much better." They laid me down on one of the doctors table for a short recovery. Shortly after we left, picked up my perscription, came home and I was in bed probably so drugged up and tired of drinking water at that time I passed out in bed. Briefly woke up for some very smashed up sweet potatoes, went back to bed, and woke up at 1:30am feeling 100%.

I've been up since then writing in my journal, listening to music, and eating/drinking everything.

I feel great! My grandmother wants me to rest all day again though. Sucks.

Sincerely,

The Character
