I did look up the name of it but I'm not into impressing people with words! Anyway, husband had that done today, ate right afterward as they brought him some jello. ENT said he might have to have this done every 6-8 months for e-v-e-r. i stared at him. Is he kidding? Anyone else had this done?

Once again, every doctor saw how little he could open his mouth and evaluated how difficult this was going to be today. it went well, about a 10 min procedure though waiting for surgery and recovery total...about 4 hours. no joke. Doc was an hour late to this first appointment. Recovery was dreadfully long. I finally left for awhile as the building was freezing cold and i was getting in a bad mood about it. At least the cancer center and chemo had puzzles to build. This place had nothing to do and was freezing. Hours of sitting when I could have gone shopping but they said it would just be a few minutes repeatedly to me. Liars! Just tell me the truth!

I think he is going to do the PET scan in April now. He had said he wouldn't because the doctors just wanted more money (he despises the oncology doc for telling him to stop acting like a 2 yr old when he starved himself for 2 solid months).

Otherwise, his life is pretty much back to normal, working full time, eating anything and everything except spicy food. Difference between he and I....we go to Aldi and I get a basketfull of greens and healthy organic food. He gets boxed frozen meals and pies. I'm not perfect but it kind of shows the difference in how we treat our bodies. Today reminded me why I take care of my body...this hospital stuff is for the birds!
