much better day today. I was actually able to stretch my pain meds to every 7 hours instead of struggling to get to 4. Decadron is doing the trick. I think the dose could be just a touch higher. Not much. They got me on 8mg daily, I think 12 would be better. I only got ten of them with this script tho so I'm going to talk to my MO in the morning and let him know I think a little boost will do and I will drop down to 8mg when I feel ready. I should be able to measure it pretty good based on how I'm swallowing.
I did get another cat scan of the area to measure the swelling and there were no new masses. Whatever that means, whether the old one is still there or not.. should have asked. I think I will call and have them send that scan to my MO and RO for the record so they can look at it to let me know what that meant. It wasn't a contrast cat though so...eh idk. If the mass isn't gone, total laryngectomy is next, which should cure this but... Lord knows I don't want to lose my voice. I'm going to focus on healing instead of that though. There is time enough for bad news. I want 6-8 weeks of no worries for once.
