		<description>Actually, I&amp;#8217;m feeling a lot better. Finally!
My tonsils hurt for nearly a week after the shot of antibiotics. I pretty much lived on milkshakes and grilled cheese, and not much of either. The silver lining is that I lost almost 10 lbs. I wouldn&amp;#8217;t recommend it as a diet plan, though. I still didn&amp;#8217;t talk [...]&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

I thought I had the flu, but it turns out I don&amp;#8217;t. I have tonsillitis instead. Jesu, joy of man&amp;#8217;s desiring!
At least it explains why my throat hurts like hell. Fortunately, the doc gave me a shot in the office (well, that&amp;#8217;s not really where he stuck me, but you get the [...]&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
