It seomtimes sneaks out without warning and looks like a giant slug that somehow got into my throat. It can be embarassing. I wish Alex well and hope it lets up one day soon. I think maybe the neck dissection has something to do with it. It has been my constant companion for over 3 years .
Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
