I still feel like there is a blockage at the back of my throat right behind my tonsils, when I do drink by mouth once I get past the back it goes down my throat pretty smooth. I brushed my teeth this morning and gagged pretty bad again, I am just hoping to feel somewhat normal again soon. I just wonder how long the gagging and frog throat will be here as well as the hot flashes I get which I heard could be my thyroid acting up. I definately do not taste anything but like I said carbonated sprite sure is heaven at the moment. Just trying to take it one day at a time, if I can just eat something and get this tube out then I may feel like riding my bike so I can get some strength back. I just dont feel right moving around alot with this stupid tube bouncing around under my shirt with all its crusty boogers around the entry. Just kind of frustrated I guess...
Your Friend, Nate
