Right... a long and unusual question here.
Basically the last few months I have developed a rare, non life threatening, throat condition. (Eosinophilic oesophagitis, for anyone that is interested
) Essentially it is like asthma, only in my gullet. My throat is swollen and i have to eat very slowly to avoid food getting stuck. The treatment is very long term (could be more than a year before i regain full swallowing abilities), but I've been assured that it will be sorted eventually. {Medication for the rest of my life though... yay!)
Now, the question... I'm sitting on an offer from CMT. Obviously they will need to know about it when i get my medical etc. Do you reckon they would be able to guarantee me a sponsor that stays pretty local to Britain? Like Red Funnel group or something? Reason being if I were to choke on food on a ferry down at Southampton it would only be a minor problem, i could just go to the hospital and have it shifted. Obviously if i were to choke on food in the middle of the Atlantic then it would be much more of a problem
(NOTE: me choking on food has not happened for a long time now, its not regular as such)
I am gutted about this, as my condition only really came to light after I'd applied. If Clyde couldn't give me some sort of guarantee then I'm going to have to reapply for a later date, or maybe give up on the dream completely
Any advice/knowledge of Clyde would be appreciated. (And maybe some sympathy
)
