Howdy,
Throat attack.
I’ve never heard it as a medical term.
Medically and emergency, we think of heart attack.
But free writing a bit today to get some words written in lieu of posting much today, I drafted the idea of a “throat attack.”
That’s why I’m not planning to write much for today’s blog entry: a throat attack.
Don’t worry, it’s not an emergency, just a stinkin’, clingin’ cough.
The kind of cough that follows one around all day, for many too many days, and mocks the speaker after every sentence (when lucky, more likely every phrase, and sometimes every word, and even worming into them, punctuating syllables), and really revs up when its patient lies down, delaying sleep and interrupting eventual rest with constant throat attacks.
Back to free writing … to explore what else I may be able to find between stammering hacks.
