Derailed

Been sick lately, which sucks. Today took a turn of the worse as my sore throat went way, way beyond sore. Not sure why, doctors couldn't figure it out either. The current thinking is that I abraded (scratched) my throat and that the only real solution is pain management.

So now I'm on Vicodin, weeeeee!

The problem is that it's making me really scatterbrained (there's a reason I avoid narcotics), so sadly, coding is out for tonight.

Also, there's this thing Thursday called Thanksgiving, which will be taking up some of my time. So it might be that there's no streaming this week. We'll see what happens.

  2. I hope you feel much better soon. Cranberries are an excellent source of vitamin C. I wish you a happy holiday and a speedy recovery.

  4. Get well soon and drink something hot to wash away the bacteria. And... stay hydrated. And remember to eat well and rest enough. And stay warm.

  5. scratched your throat... What did you swallow sandpaper? Didn't anyone told you not to eat sandpaper?

    I think whenever I got a sore throat my mom made some voodoo honey drink thing.

    1. lol, spicy food? no wonder your throat became beyond sore. Eating spiciy food with a sore throat tends to irritate the throat even more.

      Recomended flavor for a sore throat: mint.

  7. Spicy food with a sore throat? That's never good. Get well, and try to take it easy. Relax with a cup of something hot and tasty. That works for me.

  8. 1) A mug of hot water with as much honey as you can dissolve in it and lemon juice to balance the sweetness is pretty popular for sore throats, but not necessarily for sanded throats. You could try it.

    2) Tia Maria, Southern Comfort, Drambuie or a really sticky schnapps (Archer's is pretty sticky) will stick to the back of your throat and numb the pain. It'll also help keep the bacterial flora down for a while.

    3) "Handsome and Handy" no longer displays any text when I read it. I haven't checked whether it's changing a skill yet.

  10. Damn, I feel for you man. I just recently recovered from a fever and sore throat. Getting sick is hell.

    Sorry I can't help with the sore throat part, since all I took was Strepsils (a type of lozenge) but mine was just a mild sore throat, so it might not work so much with yours.
