It’s not supposed to get harder
I think generally I’m feeling better. Well my headache is gone, my body aches gone. I’ve had a bit of a temperature coming and going, but I don’t see that going anywhere for awhile…
But I swear it’s getting harder to swallow. It’s certianly getting harder to talk. The glands in my throat are still round balls, and I doubt my tonsils are going down… noone really wants to look in there…
Most horrible bit? Waking up with a dry mouth. And not just a little bit dry – I touched my tongue with my finger and it was dry. *sigh*
Yes. I am gross. It took me an hour to get through 2/3 tub yoghurt… I’m wondering if they have frozen coke or do thickshakes at the local takeaway… It’s still hard to swallow, but at least it would be cooling. Otherwise I might head to Woden for the simple pleasure of a Boost smoothie. At least I’ll be getting some sort of nutrition into me that way. Am trying to keep my water up… but it’s just as hard to swallow as everything else!
Okay, go about your day. I’m off with Rish and some friends to Newcastle tonight. hopefully the weather there will be reasonable, and I can be left in a park with a book. Or something else that doesn’t require me to talk or eat. *cries*

Aw, poor thing! That’s terrible! Well, at least Rish is taking good care of you, it sounds like. You might try warm, green tea to help, too. With honey. Organic, local honey, if you can get it.
My grandmother used to use blackberry brandy as a “cough tonic”. *ahem* So, that might help, too.
Oh, do take care, Fiona. Especially make sure it doesn’t turn into something worse! Keep us updated!
