blockage

Yesterday, my throat blocked up. I couldn't finish my lunch, because it hurt too much. Even swallowing water or saliva hurt.

They gave me this "OraMagic" oral rinse to use if this happens, but I didn't have it with me at work, and it came so suddenly. I used it when I got home, and although it didn't make the "lump"/blockage go away, it at least stopped the burning so I was able to trudge my way through dinner. I'm supposed to use this four times a day.

I also have been getting the hiccups randomly for the past few days; I don't know if that's related or not. I guess my grace period is over.
