Will be going under the knife

This is not the prettiest picture you will see but it is my throat with bad tonsillitis. This scope was taken end October when I was no where near my worst state. It has since flared up again :-(.



My tonsils are severely swollen for months since August. Been coughing real bad and tired most time requiring afternoon naps as the swollen tonsils may be affecting my breathing during sleep (lack of oxygen to brain). I have been unable to really work for months and often doze off in meetings. In September alone I lost 4kg as was really sick but put it back on since.
