Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 1,116 | Gosh, I hope I am posting where I should be. Anyway, I have a question, I had surgery two years ago (tongue and neck dissection) and about a month or so ago, developed a small sore over my trach scar. The surgeon immediately went in, cut on it and had it tested and it came back negative for c. Gave me antibiotics, went back to him yesterday cuz it just won't heal, I am going in for deeper surgery on June 11th. He thinks (and I am hoping) it might be a leftover stitch from trachetomy causing chronic infection. Anybody else experience anything like this? Thanks! Carol

Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 40 | Thanks every1! I'm seriously looking forward 2 having some FUN. When we left the house for surgery a yr ago I told my husband not to worry cos next summer we'll be at a park slurping on some slushies & think wow what a weird last year we had & high-five it baby. I kept meditating on that thought when things got rough during treatment. Keep postive guys!
Carol L~I didn't have stiches, they just let the hole heal from the inside out so I don't know. Good luck to you, I hope all goes well.

I'm so happy for you! Since the first day that you posted I knew you had this thing beat because of your extremely positive attitude! Congratulations!
Ed,
I can't picture you on a slick cart track. Now I'm really curious about what you look like? The only time I ever ride those things is when we go miniature golfing after a few cocktails and I've crashed pretty bad too. My neck was pretty sore for a couple days....
