Thanks for the encouragement. How long was the neck surgeries and how long did you stay in the hospital. I am trying to make arrangements with family to help with my husband. We own a music store and when I was sick before I was out 3 1/2 months and it all fell on him. It was very hard.
I guess I worry to much. I always have and looked out for everyone. Now they have to look out for me. This is hard.
I also tried eating last week and it lasted til Thursday my throat got so sore again I went back to my tube. When I eat and swallow it feels like there is a ledge or something sticking out in my throat to catch food and not allow it to go down. It will collect it and then I can cough it back up to choke on it. Has anyone had this problem and should I post this question somewhere else?

I also feel like I have a sore on the left side of my tongue this is scaring me. Last night it affected the inside of my cheek. It was sore.

Again Thanks for the info I need to get going to work.

Oh by the way Jerry I am originally from Morrisville PA. Been here in NC for 20 1/2 years. Small world isn't it?
Love
Terry
