Oy vey. Tuesday I woke up around 4am with a migraine that decided to not go away til long after my logic exam period passed. Later on that day I managed to make it to my Agamben class only to notice an unfortunate tickle/swell in my throat. eeukkkk. Wednesday the tickle turned to a nasty little Foosball sized swell and during my night class I came down with the chills. Then today I mustered up enough energy to make it to my first two classes before driving back to Carol Stream to see a doctor at the Convenient Care.
Strep throat came back negative. Mono came back negative, although it's actually too soon since I've felt ill to accurately test for mono. My white blood count came back higher than it should be so the quick analysis-tonsillitis. Which let me tell you, I've now mastered how to spell that little bugger. So lucky me, I get to take antibiotics and Tylenol with codeine for the next five days.
Compared to yesterday and this morning, I feel great. I've been able to eat soft foods so we had mutter paneer for dinner-we being the parents. Even though I could have found someplace to go in the city I'm glad I came back home and got to relax for a bit with my parents. Got to watch some curling on the tube with my dad and mom. Finally, I understand why my dad is really getting into the sport, it's oddly addictive to watch. Overall, I'm looking at a diet of yogurt and ice cream for the next few days because eating even a soft meal is exhausting right now. The energy required to swallow when swallowing is a full body ordeal is extensive.
With the being said, I'm off to bed. A little bedtime story from dear old Agamben will do the trick-in actuality he's quite an engaging writer. I'm also abnormally interested in thinking through witnessing and giving testimony to what cannot be said-namely the experience of Auschwitz-because it is those who can speak of the gas chambers that, at the same time, cannot.
