I went to an ear/nose/throat specialist (refered from my allergist) that took one look my mouth and said, "You have two huge balls of meat in your throat that only get infected, you might want to have them taken out." MMMm thanks for the great visual man.
It's been 3 days since surgery. The pain has gone down quite a bit. I'm out to 5 hours between doses of pain killers. I had one of those fruit breezer things from 31 flavors today, the Kiwi. Damn good, I must say. I skipped the sorbet, because dairy causes extra mucus which would make it hard to swallow.
Thanks for all the feel better's, ladies.
