Had my TT 8/29 and haven't heard about the biopsy as of today, but the pain in swallowing ,feels like I got a couple of golf balls in there, (one in my throat and one in my chest) (coughing and sneezing are nightmares....don't dare laugh either)
Last night was the worst for the burning in my chest. I am on meds for gerd, I was wandering is the endotracheal intubation is the reason for such discomfront along with the gerd. Last night I took an extra prevacid a pain pill and a xanax, that's how bad I felt.
I have a lump on the incision and had called the surgeons nurse this past Tuesday complaining of the trouble swallowing and the lump...she said I must of had some sort of leaking and it will absorb into my body taking about a month. I don't have my follow-up for another 2 wks. The burning only started after I talked with her.
Seen my Hemotolgist yesterday(I have a clotting disorder and am on life time blood thinners...) the burning scares me because if there is erosion then there bleeding and then I'm in trouble. I see my cardiologist on Friday and Endro Dr. on next Tuseday...I don't who to tell what to.
If I just avoid the foods and drink that cause acid reflux, do you think that'll do the trick in releaving my pains?
milk soaked toast sounds good.
