OK, so on Tuesday I felt a bit of a sore throat coming on, didn’t really thing anything of it at the time, had them before, and I’m sure I’ll have them again. By Wednesday it was getting a bit sore and I could feel my glands coming up a bit. A bit sore to swallow, but nothing unusual about that with a sore throat.
Thursday is another issue however, It’s now really fecking painful, my neck has got something the size of a golf ball lodged inside it and my throat is getting VERY red and it’s next to impossible to swallow anything.
Move on to Friday and after a whole lot of Aspirin I notice this:

The Black death
Now I’m thinking a big black growth in the back of my throat is not normal. Anyone have any clue what this fucking thing is? Feels like an alien burrowing it’s way out of my throat.
That’s gross, Mr Coles. You suck.
Ugh!
Yeah, cheers for that Ben.
Well, the black thing dropped off, seems like a massive clot or something, so now I just have a massive hole in the back of my throat, and it’s been getting bigger by the day.
Add coughing up blood and a general horrible pussy-ness to the whole equation and it’s turning into a rather disgusting couple of days.
Off the the NHS drop in centre tomorrow and see if they can work out what it is.
Wonder if they’ll sign me off work for a while… Might make having this whole hole in the throat worth while.
