Charles,
I’m so glad people who have experienced this have this site to help others! It provided me comfort and confidence throughout the ordeal! Oh, ditto on some of the others mentioning “magic mouthwash “, it was a Godsend for the sore throat. Ps- Mayo introduced me to “music therapy “ and a good pair of headphones and Southwestern Native American pipe music can with deep breathing is a great stress killer!! We are pulling for you!
