Ugh

Is it possible to die from a sore throat? I think I might be dying from this thing. Last night I started feeling sick around 6 or 7 and it hit me like a ton of bricks. My throat feels like it's been chopped up, I have a headache and chills and I feel weak all over. I went ahead and arranged for a substitute for Monday because I don't think I'll be feeling well enough for work. Now I'm just hoping Aiden won't get sick.
