Oh boy! I have a diagnosis!!!! Keep in mind I don’t have tonsils! I have what they call a Peritonsillar Abscess. And the symptoms are no joke! I experienced every symptom. A trip to the absolutely useless Sparrow ER, a date with my doc and a trip to 98.6 Emergent. I put my big girl pants on and willingly received two shots today! Good news is right at this moment I feel pretty good. I start my steroid tomorrow along with all of the other meds that I am on. Fingers crossed that this all works and I will be back up and running next week!🤞 Thank you to everyone who have taken the time to check in on me. It sure makes a girl feel better when she was feeling so so yucky! And thank you for understanding that I seriously needed this time to heal. Trust me…this has been very hard for me to rest and be out and about doing what brings me so much joy and happiness. I truly appreciate all of you!❤️❤️❤️❤️
