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.
