Red: Yeah, and not too long ago, the pain in my throat had doubled... It took until today for my throat to start feeling better like it should've done about two days ago... Ouch....they had to put you to sleep? I was wide awake when they had to put a knife in my mouth, and cut around to make an opening... It's healing up now, and I can finally talk, and drink with ease, most importantly, eat... I've been getting my rest nurse.
