In 96 when I was a teenager we had horses and I used to sit with my filly & chew on alfalfa hay. I swallowed some and a sliver of hay was visably logded in my tonsil for like 6 months and it just disapeared one day, and I have had pokey scratchy in that side of my throat ever since.
not even close to 60 mph sticks though. I feel for ya!
