How's the throat, Mr Q?

It almost feels as-if someone has attacked me with sharp implements and ripped out part of my throat lining, taking with it my ability to swallow properly.
The drugs prescribed to me work nicely in reducing the pain to eminently bearable levels, except they don't last long enough between top-ups, meaning some meals are a struggle.
Other than that, I'm the same miserable bugger that I usually am. How's thee?

Paracetamol and codeine based medication is usually OK on an empty tum. I don't expect you will, but don't be tempted to cut down on your painkillers too quickly - and take them very regularly.
I'm OK, thanks, apart from the fact that my broken shoulder is taking an age to heal. The bones are fine now but I have residual muscle damage and its v painful. Fortunately, as anyone on here will tell you, I never complain!

Suffice to say, I hope that bloody clears up quickly! Some people say months, others YEARS! For fucks sake...

People will always tell you things take years to recover from. All will be well, all will be well and all manner of things will be well, as Mother Julian of Norwich was wont to say.
