So, one side of my throat has been hurting off and on for two weeks. It feels like there's something stuck back there that I can't get out. Well, Tuesday, the pain was so bad I was almost in tears every time I swallowed and could barely eat. Everyone I talked to said, "Oh, I do this or that for a sore throat...." and I was screaming, "THIS IS NOT A SORE THROAT. I KNOW HOW A SORE THROAT FEELS AND THIS IS NOT IT!"
Well, yesterday, I went to my GP who, thankfully, did not dismiss it as just a sore throat. She took her little popsicle stick and flash light looked at my throat for 3 seconds and exclaimed, "Oh! I can see it." She made an urgent referral to ENT stating that she didn't know what it was but that it needed a closer look.
Well, my appointment is tomorrow at 10am. I've been scheduled to see the doctor that specializes in head/neck growths. My mom has an endocrinology appointment at 9a, so Mr. KDR is going to try to rearrange his schedule to go with me. This is my first real "health scare" since being an adult, so please, just say a little prayer for me.
