uvula

It never seems to fail in my life, when a semester of school finishes I always get sick. Once again the summer semester ended, my three month stress level went from a 8 1/2 level to a 2; and I got sick. Although it started as a common cold with the usual stuffy nose, headaches and stiffening of the body, I got something unusual that happened to me. My uvula (the little bobber in the back of your month) became swollen to the size of a small eraser I guess. It was just twice its normal size. I know this might sound gross and freakishly weird but I could huff and it would plop onto my tongue and you can totally see it. I showed Alicen and she about flipped. You know in scary movies when they jump back in fear, well that is what Alicen did. It was really weird to see in the mirror. After a while I got use to it. Its since gone down, don't know what caused it but I hope to not have it again. A swollen Uvula who would have thought of a thing.
