The Doc.
It was the winter of '04. Not a good one for me. I found myself sick alot. I had just gotten over another terrible sore throat episode, when my throat started bothering me AGAIN. I did my thing when I got home. Went to the bathroom. Took out the flashlight. Said AHHHHHH and checked things out. There were some white spots on my left tonsil. Great. Fantastic. Another dumb trip to the doctor if it didn't get better. The next day it hurt worse, the spots were still there, so I got in that afternoon. I went. The doc came in. He asked me what was going on. I told him I'd been having a terrible winter, sick alot, and my throat was bothering me again and I had white spots on my tonsil. He wanted to take a look. I said AHHHHH again...and he said...Nope, no infection. Just like that. So what are the white spots? Food. Stuck in my tonsil. Ew. Gross. Weird. Nasty. Those are the words that came to mind. Since then I've noticed my left tonsil will sometimes get large. When it gets large, that's when I have the problem with the food. I have to go into the bathroom, take a Q-tip and try to get it out. It hurts, it makes me gag, and, well, it's just plain gross. I know how disgusting it is, but I can't do anything about it. It only happens when that particular tonsil swells. He told me it's normal. I don't agree. I want these babies taken out!
I had a dream last night that I had to take the Q-tip, and this giant thing came out of my tonsil that was a good inch long, and 1/2 inch wide, and I showed my mom and she told me it was a tumor. I had to call an ear, nose and throat specialist and they were finally going to take my tonsils out. So weird. And gross. It hasn't escaped me just how gross this all is. But, hey, I just wrote it. You're the one that read it!
He never could explain my sore throat. Not a very good doctor!

Was that a dream or was it real?
That was fairly gross... but that usually makes the best stories!
