Being ill sucks!

These little things have become my friend over the past few days. After being told by my doctor that I had 'what looks like a very sore throat,' (I'm guessing he came to that conclusion via my initial description of why I was there to see him in the first place) I was informed that I should be taking these rather lovely looking things on a regular basis to keep the swelling down.

So far I can't say I've noticed a great deal of change in how much pain I'm in. But they are fun to look at...
