Who gets admitted to the hospital with tonsillitis?

OoOoO if you said me you'd be right. Tonsillitis that is correct. As it turns out most adults don't even get tonsillitis anymore. Its mostly a kid thing. I never had it as a kid. Go figure. All I know is I woke up at 1am on Monday morning because my throat hurt so bad I couldn't swallow, and if I did it felt like someone was sticking a knife in my ear. I tried to go back to sleep but was quite unsuccessful. Now I'm not one who is big on the whole doctor thing, which those of you who know me understand all to well. I do however know when something is really not right, and this was really not right. I did call my mom at 6am to confirm that it was not ok, and decided that I would not go to work, but to the doctor instead.
By the time I could try to call the doctors offices in the area, since my doc is the burbs. I couldn't talk very well at this time without a whole lot more pain. I didn't loose my voice it just hurt like hell to talk. Which is awesome. So I called the local hospital place and they said I had to call my insurance company and have them find me a place to go. I was in tears by the end of my conversations, as I kept having to swallow, and was super frustrated. I knew there was no way that I could keep calling places trying to get in. I would have just gone to the ER but I know they charge you more for non-emergency and I didn't really think a sore throat was an emergency.
I did try to call b to see if she was working, but of course she was. So I had to make the call to my parents to have them come pick me up. I hate to do this because its so far, but I couldn't walk all over the city to find a doctor, and it was really getting worse by the min. So of course my dad came and picked me up. My mom took me to my regular doctor, who is pretty much the only doctor I've ever like. And of course after a ten min visit he sent me to the emergency room.
He couldn't get a great look at my throat, and everything was super swollen, he wanted me to see be seen by and ear nose and throat doctor. so they could numb my throat and take a proper look. He thought I might have an abscess and since I've had that before and know what it was i freaked out a little cause its wicked gross. That and there was the pain and frustration thing.
Anyways we went to the hospital, and the ER doc seemed to think my doctor was a little crazy, and just sent me home with a bunch of meds. Horse pills for the girl who can't swallow. Though after calling my doctor he did decided to schedule me a follow up with the E.N.T. the next day.
Needless to say the E.N.T. doctor admitted me to the hospital. Of course theres more but I have plenty of time to tell more of the story since I can't go back to work till monday anyways. So part two to follow.
