Swallow?

My throat hurts.  It burns to swallow, or eat, or drink, or breathe.  Actually swallowing food helps a lil because it scrapes along my throat and scratches an itch I don't even know I've got until it gets scratched.  But just laying here...my throat is burning.  I looked at my tonsils earlier, and on the left side, the side that hurts the most...there's a white spot. 

The sucky part is, when I'm sick, I pretty much have to deal.  I'm still expected to work.  I'm still expected to be a mom.  I'm still expected to be a wife.  A cook, a maid, a chauffer, nice. 

I get these often, these white spots on my tonsils.  I want to google what it could be, but you know the pictures are going to make me gag.  And gagging + sore throat can only = serious ouch.  I guess if it's not better by Monday, I'll have to go see Walter.  Poor poor pitiful me. 

This particular sore throat happened right after I left my dentist office.  Is there a coorelation?

Speaking of the dentist...I think I've finally got it right this time.  I love the way the dentist talks to me.  He doesn't make me feel like an idiot.  I mean, let's face it, my mother sucked.  And, dental hygiene wasn't at the top of her priority list.  (What was at the top of her list?  I guess that's a whole different blog to consider...and probably for a room of therapists to ponder.)  Anyway...the new dentist doesn't scare me.  And, that is awesome.  I've never been so calm in a dentists chair before. 

Dammit, my throat really hurts.  Dammitdammitdammit.
