bleh...

so i haven't been feeling very well for the past week. sore throat (kinda like something is stuck in there and stabbing me) and wierd chest (congestion?). and i had thought it was starting to get a little better, but then today, it's just been awful. and of course we don't have health insurance until march 1st. great. but it was just too much for me, so i decided to go to the dr. so yeah, he's not totally sure, but said my throat is definitely infected - very very red. since i don't have insurance yet, he skipped the throat culture and other tests he could have done, and gave me some sample meds that will cover strep if that is what it is. so hopefully it is actually strep and that the meds start helping me to feel better. cuz if i don't feel better by monday i'm supposed to go back and then he will do a throat culture and who knows what else, which will cost who knows how much. so yeah. what a great day this has been. hopefully it doesn't end up costing too much - they will send me the bill, so i have no idea at the moment what it will cost...
