Argh! Tom! I sure wish I knew about the Mic-Key before I got this 2nd tube installed! But our HMO probably wouldn't have gone for it anyway. I'm lucky they didn't go with a PVC pipe just jammed in there! LOL! Such a cool idea, especially for someone that needs to use it for longer periods of time. I'm still praying I'll only need mine for less than a year, but you never know.

I won't be able to dominate conversation at the dinner table, though. I guess if my throat is blistered and swollen enough that I can't even swallow, I sure won't feel like talking. Lucky for me I'm a quiet type to begin with?

Thanks for the chuckle, Tom. I needed it! Praying that your treatments go well--and quickly!
