I don't think the codine is working...

Ok, so here I am a week and a half after being diagnosed with strep, and I feel worse than I did to begin with. I don't have a voice, I can't hardly swallow the pills I"m on, let alone liquids. And I'm certain that the codine stopped working on me. I'm due to get my tonsils out on the 27th, but I don't know if I can keep this crap up til then! Bobby and I are going to Kansas City next weekend for a family thing for him. I'll end up being know as the voiceless one.
