I can't do this all on my own...

It's a viral infection in my throat. Found this out today at the hospital. It might go away on its own or not.

Apparently, the treatment is having to gargle with lidocaine, which happens to be an anaesthetic...and a little thicker than I could've expected. I'm not sure if I am to spit it out or swallow. The latter might help me a bit, I suppose. All I know is that it's hard to get in without it hitting my tongue.

I'm starting to miss when I thought it was the flu.
