hey you old whippersnapper,
COngrats on the black belt, not sure whe you got it but congrats. I know you worked hard to get there, so good on you girl!!
Sorry to hear about your throat, I got a couple of nasty ones a month or so ago, it is rather painful, so take it easy and just let the saliva build( less swallowing involved) *LOL* or try super cold water.
