I wish you had seesmic commenting on... because my reaction would have better described my feelings than just typing out this bland response...

LOL Thanks Sue!
John, I can't do the Seesmic deal on my blog. I'm involved in other sites that attract a lot of attention from griefers on a routine basis. It wouldn't be pretty.
Matt, but of course!

I just wish you and dewdette had the foresight to recognize the importance of this moment and taken photos in the beginning!

Me too!
It was a lot scarier than I made it sound here. It kept slipping back down into my throat and causing me to gag, gasp, and sputter. I was drooling all over the place because I literally could not swallow without accidentally ingesting my uvula.
But yeah, in hindsight pics would have rocked.

I have had this happen before. It is very freakish and scary. And please forgive me but I laughed out loud till I cried as you described you situation in the first few paragraphs.
Glad eveythings o.k. now. What was the cause? The bug party? Did the ER folks get more specific?

@Wendy:
Don rocks. Yeah they said it was just an infection. It appears that once it happens the first time it is likely to occur again and it has. I had to go to a clinic about 6 months later for the same thing. I caught it earlier so it wasn't as severe. Both times I had a cold with sore throat, so that is the first clue I need to be mindful.

YO, switch the side that the comments are on and the side that the info is on. This way I won't submit my own rant before realizing there are required fields that I never noticed.
