More damn medical crap

Gosh I hate the feeling of coming out of sedation.....I hope I don't write anything stupid. (No comments on how I must spend a lot of time coming out of sedation, ok???)

Doc is pretty confident that it is just scar tissue growing and had that biopsied. However, the muscles of/around the esophagus are still in a virtually constant state of spasming, reducing the diameter to only a couple of milimeters, so it is possible that I will need to have another surgery to further weaken them (similar to the first one). It's either that or have to get stretched every couple months, so we have to wait to see how long the positive effects of this stretching last.

Thanks for well wishes and good vibes and bread maker and Karl Rove jokes.

Teehee. Toaster heaven.

Btw, glad to hear that it appears to be only scar tissue and not something more serious, Leo. Hang in there.

Oh, like we're not used to it.

(hey, at least I didn't make any jokes about regular stretching sessions)

I'm happy to hear that it isn't more serious and I really hope that this recent procedure does the trick. Here's to a speedy recovery.
