Good morning everyone. Giving a big heart felt thank you for the prayers. Things went well yesterday. The news wasn't even that bad. I am getting older after all, so to hear that I have no sphincter at the bottom of my Esophagus or top of tummy, wasn't too bad of news. They say it actually happens to younger folks too. No sores to be removed, no ulcers! I was pretty tight, so they did do the balloon. I did nothing but cough yesterday, but that's ok, it seems to be gone now. And I seem to be able to swallow a bit easier now. I still feel tight in the throat though, so now thinking that's because of a surgery I had done on my neck/spine area. I have muscle dysphonia in my throat..muscles too tight. They go through the front to do the surgery, pull everything aside from the front to get to the spine. If the tightness keeps up, I may have to start getting Botox shots in my throat muscles. I have a son that has dysponia in his vocal cords, bless his heart, he gets a real shaky voice, and when it gets to the point where no one can understand him, he gets the shot. It works for a while. So many things they can do for us today.
Anyway, I want to thank you for the prayers again. I couldn't help but think of my family praying, and when I thought of these folks on BYC praying for me, I had to think and smile about how there are so many loving caring people on here. And one persons post stuck in my mind as I lay there recovering, Bill saying..I've got ya covered.
I knew he did, and I knew others here were thinking of me.
Now, I haven't read through all of the posts..but it seems there are some ill? Will have to go back and see, and know..that I am praying for the well being of you all.
Sumi! You sound soo happy. That's great. It sounds beautiful there, love the photos you have shared so far, can't wait for more. I've always thought, If I could travel anywhere, Ireland would be the place. All I can think of is green hills, and beautiful cliffs over the Ocean. You are blessed.
Looks like I've gone on an on again! Going to read more. Sorry for the overload, but more to come as I find some grateful quotes today.
