I had a twin punch (one to make sure)in the soft palet. It was right where I swallow so it was annoying but the least of my worries at the time.

I do remember the fact that the ENT wrote me a prescription for pain killers - 150 of them - thats when I knew I was in for a world of hurt---- in the Walgreens parking lot reading that script.
