Since I couldn't find any clinic in town that would take me today, I had to go to the emergency room this morning for my throat. The doctor diagnosed me with pharyngitis (an infection of the pharynx) and put me on 5 days of antibiotics, with Peroset for pain (w00t!). I'm just relieved that going to the hospital wasn't a big deal, and also that when I leave for the trip in threeeeeeeeee daaaaaaaaaaaays I should already be feeling much better.
