Attack of the Uvula!
Uvula, that just sounds dirty. Anyway, when hubby woke up this afternoon, he said he felt like he was choking and couldn't get anything to clear out of his throat, well he went to the bathroom and came back and said the hangy thing in the back of his throat was swollen. Of course I was quick to point out the it was called a uvula. He said whatever and showed me, the dang thing was laying like a slug on his tongue, it was the sickest thing I ever saw. I told him he better get to the dr. He couldn't talk very well so I had to call and see what to do. I just felt so dirty telling them that my husbands uvula was swollen. I told Dan that the dr wanted me to keep saying uvula, hubby didn't find that amusing. Well, they just called in a script for prednosone(sp?) and that made hubby nervous that they would prescribe something without seeing him. So of course, I googled swollen uvula and the most useful site I found was one that was actually a blog and there are lots of sufferers, as it turns out, the most common cause was sleeping with your mouth open and snoring heavily(which he was doing since he has been working so much this week) the best thing for it was to drink plenty of water. I wanted to take a pic of it, but hubby wouldn't let me. Oh well.
Rob, the post about cookies was actually because blogger was giving me a message about not being able to do something because my cookies were disable, or some such crap.
Angel, I knew you were Hello Kitty, lol. Funny, though.
One more blurb on the name thing. Both things happened when I worked customer service for a cell phone company. One customer called in asking when his co-signer could be removed from his acct. When I brought up the acct, his name was Jesus and his co-signer was Moses. Very hard to be professional about that. The other thing that happened was someone called in to speak to another rep and I was standing by this guys desk when he called them back, so he's waiting for someone to answer, then his face turns red and he hangs up without speaking to the customer, I had to ask what was up and he said someone picked up the phone and said"Cox Incorporated" the rep said he didn't know what to say, I said how about "I'll have a large."

I remember being 8 yrs old with strep throat. I asked the doctor what the "punching bag" in the back of my throat was called. He told me it was a uvula. My mom wanted me to impress the rest of my family, so when we were all sitting around the table at dinner, she asked me "what's that thing in the back of your throat called?" I put my fork down, stood from my chair, puffed out what little chest I had, smiled proudly and said...."It's called a UTERUS!!" My sister choked on her kool-aid, 3 of my brothers almost fell out of their chairs, mom cracked up laughing and my dad....well, he looked at my mom and told her to take me to another doctor because the one she took me to that day didn't know squat! HANG IN THERE DAN!!
