Better. Just had one of those events that the only thing you can do is sit down, smile and enjoy the ride as complaining or thinking it couldn't get any worse will not help any.
Quick version since I never shared.
Went to DR for appointment and he decided I needed to be admitted (fun) for tests.
Stayed a week - left with some antibiotics (posted about stay and during my stay).
Was home couple days and started getting really sick - went back to another DR for checkup.
DR visit discovers I caught something at hospital and need new pill.
Start new pills which are big capsules and on 2nd day one of them sticks in my throat right near or on windpipe. I can breath but it is like 80% choking and spitting. I try everything to get it down. Water about drowns me. Then it starts to burn like all hell. Say fuck it and go to ER.
ER is fast to get me a bed and then I have to wait for the ear, nose, throat guy to come in (takes like eons or feels like it - constant choking feeling and burning). ER guy goes to check for pill with camera which goes down your nose - I hear a comment about lidocaine and he says nah he is just taking it - WTF???? Anyways he shows the wife my vocal cords and pulls it out after not seeing anything but some swelling/redness. I think he knocked it loose. Now I have to stay as I can not swallow well or any liquid at all - goes down wind pipe.
In hospital again but in area with zero wireless ability. They switch me to IV medicine and I struggle with swallowing which sucks as I drink a lot. Plus I have bad veins so they go for a pick line (think 1 foot cord in your arm). Stay a week and released.
Had to do home IV meds for another week and it was making me sick as hell and drying the hell out of my skin making me all itchy and very cranky. At least as of a few days ago we got to pull that damn cord out of my arm and I am done with the meds.
Oh yeah they did a second and larger camera during stay which further fucked my shit up.
