Thanks chaps. My epiglottis decided to weld itself shut and I was on the point of being unable to breathe due to the ensuing swelling. I was admitted on Wednesday night and I was asked whether I had swallowed any foreign objects or irritated my vocal cords in any way in the last few days... Bitter neighbour's voice went up a few tones with his visitor when he heard me showing the docs the video my son took of us celebrating Herohane's goal on Saturday.Doc was unable to distinguish between son's nearly broken voice (he's 14) and my teenish screeching (I'm 45) and made me promise not to celebrate too wildly next week. My neighbour here on the ENT ward was born in 1937 and remembers the old wooden north stand, Trevor Ford, Danny Blanchflower and has other great stories. He hadn't said a word to me in nearly 24hrs on the ward until I emerged from the shower in my 1957 FA cup replica shirt, now I can't keep him quiet! He was at the game, first time he ever went to London.It's a small and lovely world.UTV
You have mail.If you lose the ability to swallow get to the quack asap. Epiglottitis (what I have), can easily be overlooked as a simple case of tonsillitis, which was my initial diagnosis. Epiglottitis can potentially be fatal if not caught quickly, so don't hold back on going to the quack.I make this public in all our interests, as I'm sure we're not alone in sore-throatedness.Rodders.
My dad's got hours or days to live. This has cheered me up immensely. There are football fan sites and there is Heroes and Villains.
