Week 3, And It's The Tonsils

Monday: Bed/sofa rest is not 100% rest if one spends all night on the laptop ;o) I went to sleep incredibly late, thinking I was getting better, ignoring all the aches and pains. Another awful night of tossing and turning, high fever (dripping with sweat, which I didn't think I could do, not in this cold country, in any case). The head ached terribly, surpassed only by a horribly aching throat, I couldn't eat anything because it hurt too much. Finally saw the doctor later (a huge effort to get to the surgery, supported by the other half), and she diagnosed it as a bacterial infection of the tonsils. Thank goodness they don't need removing (my first thought was, how long would an op keep me out of running, lol, I need help...). The doctor prescribed antibiotics and rest. The diet's been mainly warm and pureed cornflakes and tea, the only things that don't hurt my throat on the way down to the stomach. The medicine started to make a difference, I felt less achey. My knees and legs had been aching a lot, and this went down a bit. I was disappointed to get a text from great trainer, reminding me to run. I under trained last week and now am behind again this week. To be honest, I tried not to think about running today, as the thought depressed me. I kept napping when my energy levels were low, and tried to walk when I felt better, my back hurt from lying down for so long. I know I won't run tomorrow but trying just to focus on getting better and watch the Euro Championships, take my mind off it. At least I know what's wrong with me, I've got the medicine so should be fine in a few days. The mind can't help but feel annoyed with the useless body though.
