SO... I woke up this morning convinced I was gonna get some art done, then I started coughing up blood. I broke down and finally went to the doctor. The gland in the left side of my throat is grossly inflamed, her terminology mind you. I also have bronchitis, so I have been given antibiotics and cough syrup that's supposed to be a lot more potent than the over the counter stuff. She said once the cough is under control the swelling in my throat should go down. If I do not start to feel substantially better in 3 days, I have to go back and they will admit me to the hospital. Needless to say... I will likely be resting. Stay tuned for future updates and once again, I am sorry for the delay.
