re: What would happen if you took a pair of scissors and cut off your uvula?

A couple weeks ago I got stung in the back of my throat by something (I assume either a bee or a wasp), and in the ER, my uvula was so swollen and elongated that it started going down my throat and hitting my gag reflex and made me throw up over and over. I had to lean my body/head forward to keep it from gagging me until the steroid and benadryl kicked in. It was awful. It kept feeling like I had to cough something up, but I couldn't because it was my goddamn uvula..it was such a weird feeling. And let's just say that I'm glad I didn't have a pair of scissors that day, because I'd have seriously considered it.
