I'm still feeling like there's a painful lump/swollen gland in my throat. 2 hours, $60 wasted in the ER last night for them to swab my mouth and tell me it wasn't strep. I guess I need to wait until it gets bad again and I have difficulty breathing and swallowing and call 911.
Follow up with your doctor, drink fluids, eat soft cold foods, cough drops and Tylenol for pain and breathability. Come waste another $60 at the ER if you're still feeling really bad. I'm giving them a bad review when they send me the survey about my visit last night.
Seriously, it took my brother 6 visits to the ER(because he was falling down uncontrollably) for them to tell him it was because he has type 2 diabetes(since 2013) and neuropathy in his legs.

She had diabetes and lost the use of her back legs. I never knew she had it until it was too late.

Yeah, our golden retriever died of cancer. Never knew about it until Mom told us after Heidi was euthanized.

I've been fixated on Golden Retrievers for awhile now. I see one every single day and he always looks so happy and I would swear he is grinning. I smile every time I see him. He's gorgeous.

They're pretty hyper and need quite a bit of exercise. I'd jog with my golden retriever for a mile and he'd still have tons of energy. Even in his old age he still acted like a puppy.

You have the room though for him to run around on his own so maybe you should get one.

I've thought about doing so everyday for at least the last 6 months. Golden Retriever, Basset Hound, Basset Hound, Golden Retriever. Ugh. Everyday.
