WHAT NEXT? I am so sorry to hear you are having all these problems. Did they ever explain any of this to you beforehand, not that that makes it any better. Did they explain how this laser surgery would work? Is this scar tissue from when the trach closed? How complicated is this surgery and what is your down time? I'm hanging in there for you and sending good vibes your way. Have an extra wine tonight. You deserve it.
Take care,
Eileen
