Sicky-Poo

For the past two weeks I have slowly been getting sick. It started out as something weird with my nose: It was always dry, like it was being drained, but nothing was draining. Then my ears were blocked, causing pain in my Eustachian tubes. Next, my throat started hurting in the morning and evening. Most recently my throat has been hurting all day, but the most in the morning and night.

In the beginning I started taking allergy meds, thinking that was the problem. Then I started taking cold med syrups. Yesterday I got more cold syrup and sinus pills.

This morning I woke up with more throat pain than before. It was bad enough that I couldn't eat breakfast. I made a smoothie and hoped it would help, but it only kind of helped. I cancelled the subsitute position I had and went to back to bed. I feel better now, kind of, but I'm sticking with cold liquids.

I don't have health insurance. I'm not on anyone's plan at the moment. I called an ear, nose, and throat specialist, but it would be $110. At least. Now I'm looking over health care plans from United Health One, Blue Cross Bluse Shield, and Cigna. I can't make heads or tails of it. They seem so similar! RoyBoy will ahve to look at it. I can't get a hold of my parents, or I'd ask them. I'm annoyed. I also have to work tonight, but the manager on duty said she'd try to get me out as soon as she could.
