i'm falling apart at the seams. AHHHHH!

so i have this huge lump of something in my neck today, and it hurts, feels like a gigantic knot. so all day long i decided to massage it and poke and prod at it, hoping it will go away. well the knot isn't going away, it's increating in size and now it only hurts because of the poking and proding. so i go over to St. Ed's hall to watch American Idol and i have my friend timmy work on the "knot" for me...it still isn't going away and it hurts real bad. so i have my friend JC feel the knot. He puts his hand on it and says "oooooh, that's not a knot." "WHAT?" i exclaimed, "how can it not be? did you not feel it?" he looks at me and replies, "Megan, i've had numerous doctors examine my neck many times before, that's your gland." "no john, it's a knot" i tell him. "No Megan, it's not, it's your gland" i get worried, "Is it ok that i have been poking it and rubbing it all day?" he smiles "yes, the only thing that will do is make you tired." then he proceeded to explain the whole process of how it does something to the blood and makes you tired. Well, needless to say i made tim stop massaging the GLAND on my neck and now i'm simply waiting for it to shrink again. i've never had a gland so big before in my life. OUCH! So i guess this all means that i'm ill? who knew?! End of story...i'm a dolt!
