Still sick, still miserable. Why can't I just get better? If this isn't gone by tomorrow morning, then I have to make a trip to the hospital. I don't think I could handle a whole day more of this. It ruined my sleep last night. The pain would wake me up about every hour. I tried all kinds of remedies today and nothing helped very much. I tried the throat spray, it just made me gag and cough more. It also made my tongue numb, but not my throat. Maybe I wasn't getting it all the way in the back of my throat. All I know is that I tried it about four different times with little results. I tried some new extra strength cough drops that are supposed to sooth a sore throat. They were nasty and didn't help at all. It just made me have to swallow all that many more times, bringing the pain more frequently. I tried some Emergen-C to help it heal faster. Who knows if that did anything. I almost bought some cough syrup to see if it would coat and sooth my throat for a little while. I didn't though, I had already spent enough money on "medicine". None of it really helped much. I think the one thing I did that really helped was to drink some hot tea with honey this morning. I was doing pretty good for a little bit. Then it wore off and was as painful as ever. Maybe I have strep throat. I don't know, but I hope it is gone or at least mitigated by tomorrow morning. I don't want to have to go to the hospital for a check up. I really hate going to the hospital. I will have to have a cup of hot tea and honey before I go to bed. Hopefully it will help me sleep better tonight.
One big reason I need to get better quick is that I need to get back into training mode. Being on call twice in the last three to four weeks has already hurt my work out schedule and I need to get back on the horse. That Spartan race isn't going to go easy on me because I didn't have time to get in shape. I just have to do it. So I need to hurry up and kick this thing. Besides, I think it is hindering the growth on the beard too. I really don't want that to happen. I need maximum length because this is a one time deal.

This is the mug I need to drink my tea out of to heal my sore throat.
