A Hole In My Throat
Posting with my phone from the tracheostomy floor of a hospital in the burbs. A housekeeper found me on the floor not breathing some 3+ weeks ago. I don't remember any of this... unable to intimate the hole in the throat was the alternative. Asthma and pneumonia appear to be the triggers. I'm in a second hospital now focusing on physical therapy and slowly letting the respiratory issues clarify. I can talk now with the help of a valve over the hole. Yesterday I had real meals instead of being fed through a stomach tube. Ive been sort of circling the drain health-wise for the past three years. This has dropped me in the hands of three terrific doctors, allies in helping me get back that old mojo.
innstead of caving in, giving up
Giving up was never my style.

Take good care of yourself!
good to hear from you! i've been a bit worried!!!!
You have had more than your share of health issues. I am glad you have faith in your doctors and hope they can get you back to where you should be. I admire your persistence in all that you have been through, but knowing about some of your past, I would expect it. Take care, follow directions, and never lose hope. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
