deep throat
It's not easy to take pictures of your own throat with a digital camera. If nothing else, the flash just doesn't work well in tight spots like that.
I've mentioned a few times of late that I've had a sore throat this past week. While it's not as annoying now, it's still red and a little sore. Witness the exhibit below:
I didn't say "ahhh" in this one and now I see why doctors insist on that silly word. It really makes a huge difference in what you see. I took these two pictures before work on Friday. I suspect that my throat was a lot better by then but since that was the first time I looked at it, I'm not sure.
It's kinda gross when you look at that fleshy stuff--I don't see how those medical personnel do it all the time. The two people I work with the most at my job are both surgeons so they see this crap all the time. Gives me the willies just to think about it!
This picture is more of the general throat and not just the area that is so red. You can still see it off to the right but the color isn't as easy to discern. My throat does look swollen still--and since I'm still sleeping several extra hours I guess I'm still fighting off some sort of bug. Damn bugs!
You can see in this picture the huge benefits of saying "ahhh". Everything shows up so much better--especially my uvula dangling there looking somewhat obscene.
That's it for anatomy show-and-tell for today, folks. Feel free to show me your parts too! LOL

Michele sent me. I wonder about your time zone if you're posting when I am, or are you just staying up late with that vile illness (I'm resisting all possible deep throat puns, hope it's appreciated!)
Love the grasshopper pic, and, on a serious not, I lost my mum and my kids lost their nana, who was only 58, two years ago to breast cancer so keep up the good work at your end. We all count on researchers like you!

And really Utenzi, feel free not to share such graphic pictures...especially before breakfast.
I'm back from Michele's. As always, the journey has been a joy.
