Re: Allergies

I know that's what it sounds like and that's how I've been treating it, but it's been going on since spring (well, ya know what the weather's been like here in New Hampshire), but the throat clearing, etc. has been waking me up at night and the last time I saw my doctor, she mentioned seeing a nose and throat guy.

Well, ya know what? After the supposed best in the area telling Tom his cancer was very early stage, I don't think I want to see him or can trust anyone around here.

So...won't hurt to be scoped. If Tom had done it a few years ago, he'd be in a lot better shape vocally than he now has hope of.

Granted, I've never smoked, never so much as TRIED smoking, but I've been around second hand smoke since I was born -- both my parents smoked. And New Hampshire didn't ban smoking in public places (like our venues) until two years ago.
