addendum
I just felt the urge to inform you about the nasty
throat infection I suffered from.
As mentioned before, it was so bad that I had to
take penicillin. It was horrible! We were visiting the Zoologisk Have on friday
(?) and I was wearing appropriate warm clothes and did not feel cold, and the
next day I felt weakish already but disobeyed the warning signs, going to the
sea world thingy with friends and kids. Within one day my throat changed from
bearable discomfort and hoarseness to soaring, burning,
I-have-swallowed-acid-and-the-lining-of-my-throat-peeled-off
pain!
I could not swallow without incredible
pain, and no local anaesthetic tablets would help. Along with it came fever and
I was sweating my life out so I had to change clothes five times a night and
still ended up in a soaked bed. Did I mention the P A I N ??? To make things
worse, I was drooling saliva like the average man in view of a stark naked
Angelina Jolie licking ice cream off *something obscene*. I have had bad
laryngitis many times, but never this bad. I
swear!
I was so taken by self pity that I
didn't even mind the fact that I could only eat as much as a 1 1/2 year old
child. And with less pleasure, I must add. Actually, it was good that I was in
Randers, DK at the time, because holding on to the little ladybug called Jonas
gave me some comfort during the day (except the one really bad day, where I
wanted to fall into a coma!).
Penicillin did
the trick though and gave me my life back. Thanks to Peter for that! It's always
handy to have a vet ready.
