Silly me, LG....Yup, guess I spelled it wrong or something. I can't swallow. Water is even hard - feels like everything that goes in is collecting in a pouch at the bottom of my throat slowly filling up as the days go by. This morning the heartburn was so bad that I grabbed a Tums and nibbled it down into almost a powder as I chewed. Seemed to ease some of the pain but the fullness...that feeling of rock being stuck in my craw....is still there. And now I have a Tums down in the pouch too. Don't know how chickens do it..eat rocks? On purpose? <sigh>
As for what they can do, well, nothing at this point. Took me off the Prednisone yesterday, which I was planning to do anyway. Can't believe I let them talk me into taking something I have a known allergy to, even though we discussed it in the ER on Monday night and then again on Wednesday night when I went back in. But they felt the benefits outweighed the risks. Um, no.
Wrote a long post about it the other day, but deleted it after Phil sent Don's message. Seemed so whiney and in light of the news we got it was really stupid to vent here. This will pass (at least I hope something besides yogurt and water will eventually) and I'll be none the worse for wear. I guess in some cases it never really goes away completely, but I could probably stand to drink less Coke (can't tolerate it now) and lose a few pounds anyway.
You have such a way with words...when you pray for someone I can hear your heartbeat in every word. Love you!

There were times well meaning folks would come in here and get downright militant, almost to the point of making Rachel feel like she was totally responsible for what was happening to her. Sorry if that's not what you're referring to, but it's the first thought that popped into my head.
