Wow my throat is sooooo sore right now. My mucous feels like venom on the lining of the top rear under where my sinuses are. Wow! Making everything hurt from my ears down to my clavicle. Inflammation is like whoa so food is even getting stuck on the way down. Can't even drink cold water from the shock of the cold. I am forcing through the swallow though, I have a tremendous pain tolerance so even though this is rough I am pretty positive gritting it through.

But I tell you, I started to feel like I was breezing through this the way I was handling it. I was like wow, glory to God is that all you got for me Devil? HAW HAW I SCOFFETH! Turns out there's some fire after all and its only been since Thursday that Tx was over. Laughing it off. It's not gonna discourage me at all. In fact, it sounds like all part of the process so let's get it on!!! BRING THE BURN!!
