Hi Virgo,
Just today, I entered my Signature here, so feel free to read it.
You & I are Totally different on pain medicinrs-- I don't take them.
They make me so sick, so I take Tylenol when needed. My doctors know me as a person who is extremely pain toletant. They tell me I am Way beyond the curve !!
I'm curious, do you have Active cancer now, requiring that hydrocodone? Are you recently post surgery?
I have to say, I can't relate to taking ongoing pain meds.
When I was admitted to hospital Twice during my radiation treatnents, they Made me use the Morphine pump, so I could get relief to be able to drink liquid nutrition.
But once home, I used just Tylenol.
This double surgery-- yeah, I'll be admitted probably 1-2 days.
My voice& swallowing doctor Emailed me today-- telling me that he will be repeating this biopsy & Laser in the Main OR, in a couple months, Ongoing-- because it's the only way to track what this Moderately Dysplastic lesion is doing.
You know, if I were a Normal individual, we wouldn't be so darn concerned. But, look at my Signature and you will see, my cancer is Invasive. Positive Margins, and my last Base of Tongue recurrence extended down to my Supraglottic Larynx. Very grave, bad sign!!I
So, he is rightly worried about it, and my Radiation Oncologist too told me we have to Follow it closely.
No, I don't want yet another mouthful of sutures. But with my 3 recurrences and Spread to my lower lip -- I had sutures from base of tongue forward..... He tried to reconnect the nerves in my tongue, to make it move again ( it did Not work at all)-- my god, the tongue flap was covered in sutures, and the lip was gutted out Twice ..I
What a mess!
I am glad you get out and enjoy life, and that you have someone. Great to spend time with💖!!
