It was sometime on Wednesday night that I started developing this sore throat. I thought that if I slept on it, I would wake up with an immaculate throat, without any soreness or anything, ready to digest and swallow all the food and drink that I would want to eat and drink. I was wrong when I woke up Thursday morning with a throat even sorer than it was the night before. I had some Panadol and some gargle that is supposed to clear any bacteria or viruses or whatever that is in my throat and mouth, but it didn’t do anything. Mum then bought this other gargle called Biotene or something, and when I poured it into the measuring cup, it looked like Jager. When I picked it up and smelt it, it smelt like Jager, and when I put it into my mouth to gargle, it didn’t really taste that much like Jager but all I could think of was Jager so as far as I was concerned it was like gargling the thing that I hate most, all around my mouth, then at the back of my throat and yeah, it was gross. It also didn’t work.
I had a doctor’s appointment at five thirty that day, I wasn’t looking forward to it, I mean I would have to sit there and wait in the waiting room and then he would take me to the other room where you think the waiting is over but you actually sit there as he types stuff in the computer and asks you stuff that won’t help with the diagnosis but it is really just bullshit small talk to cover up that all you are doing is sitting in another, smaller waiting room without Women’s Weekly and Who Magazine to keep you entertained. I never actually read them, I don’t think anyone does. I usually flick through the pages and rate every woman in it out of ten... it keeps me entertained until I get called into the other waiting room. Anyway, none of this happened because I got a phone call from mum saying that my brother broke his arm or wrist or something at indoor and she is going to take him to the hospital and there would be no Who Magazine for me.
I was pretty devastated. Not about him breaking his wrist, I found that kind of funny, but I was devastated that I couldn’t rate all the women in the magazines, and of course find out what was wrong with my throat. As my parents come home with fish, chips and a boy in a sling, I turn off my Pokémon Yellow game that I am really into and go to the dinner table. I reckon I ate about three bites of fish and like five or six chips before the pain of digesting food became too much and I stopped, washed my hands, made my way back to my room and turned my Pokémon back on. I had just beaten the fourth gym leader, the one in Celadon City and I was pretty happy about that. Mum soon walks in to tell me that she has called those doctors that come to the house because there are no more appointments left to... apointise? Yeah, that sounds good enough... at the normal doctor place.
They got here at around eleven at night and I couldn’t tell where the guy was from. He was a Jewish looking man but he also looked Greek, and it freaked the hell out of me what he actually was because I really couldn’t tell. I didn’t want to ask because it would just be weird. He had this other guy with him, a taller one that looked Australian. The first thing they did was get this thing, and put it into my mouth as I opened wide, before my mouth was even that wide, they knew there was something wrong. It worried me enough when the intern said ‘wow,’ but when the doctor said ‘yep, that’s a good one’ that is probably when I was a little worried.
He said that he can’t tell whether it was glandular fever or not, but he said that it easily could be. It was then that I knew that he was Jewish. I mean he looked just like Ben Stiller’s dad in Meet the Focker’s, but more Jewish, and he was Jewish... what was his name? Dustin Hoffman, that’s it... it looked like a less attractive and more Jewish Dustin Hoffman. I mean, this guy wasn’t unattractive, but he was no Dustin Hoffman. Dustin recommended, I mean prescribed this liquid medicine thing that will get rid of the virus. By that I mean, he said that if it gets rid of the virus then that is it, I can go party again, but if it doesn’t get rid of the virus then it is glandular fever.
They then left and my dad went off to the chemist to grab this medicine thing. I went to my room and dominated Team Rocket in Celadon City, then I made my way to that ghost tower thing in Lavander Town I think it’s called, then I just dominated it. I am pretty happy with my Pokémon game right now. It has like ten or eleven hours of playtime and I have probably the greatest line up of Pokémon in the world.

Dad came back after I beat that dead Cubone’s mother that was a ghost or something and he gave me the medicine. It was probably the nicest thing I have ever drank, I thought it would taste like absolute ass, but when I did the old sniff test it smelt like strawberry ice cream topping. I shot it down like a tequila shot, only an amazing, strawberry tasting one. Then I found myself licking the inside of the medicine cup because it tasted so amazing. It’s the kind of thing that I would buy just to drink if it didn’t cost twenty three dollars or something. I guess I’ll just buy normal strawberry topping.
I then made my way back to my room, still licking the inside of my mouth because it tastes like strawberry ice cream topping. I then swallowed the saliva, as you do every now and again, and it hurt. So I guess the medicine hasn’t done its job yet. It is now twelve thirty two on Friday night, but I am hoping that I will sleep all day tomorrow and then I will be all better, then I can go on my play date with Sheri that I had to post pone due to my highly contagious disease that I may or may not have. I’m going to schedule this blog for like noon or something tomorrow, because I can do that, and hopefully I sleep through it all. Goodnight.
