Why do I need a title?
I am now not a sick as I was. I started with strep throat and then added a virus that attacked my gums and a nice sprinkling of bronchitis.
It wasn't that bad in the end. I couldn't chew anything which meant I never had to worry about the painful act of swallowing and I spent all my time coughing which meant I never had time to try to eat any way.
The end result is that after 2 weeks of this I am now able to breath sometimes, and I can even chew and swallow some of my own food again.
I do have to admit that it is a little weird taking an hour to eat a piece of pizza.
The last time I experienced pain like this it was in my balls after a vasectomy so I guess it could have been worse. At least this time I could walk.
