The plot thickens:
I have to report to the hospital at 1130hrs on Monday for surgery, all's good so far however.....................a letter arrived today from a Respiratory Therepist at the Lung Function Room (!) informing me to be there at 1200hrs Monday -
during surgery!
I feel there's a bit of a
screw-up cum conundrum with all this: The throat surgeon needs all the respiratory test results & info prior to surgery BUT (uh-hu, a BIG BUT) the effectiveness of the lung/respiratory tests will be compromised by the
pharyngeal web that continues to grow daily in my throat that the surgeon needs to remove.
I 'phoned the hospital and could detect a bit of a panic on, "
We'll get back to you....". As for the expected information due to me regarding last time to eat & drink prior to surgery and whatever else I need to know, well - it's STILL a case of
!!! :'-( :annoyed:
Here's the only thing I know with any certainty at this time: The
web ('
web' my arse, it feels more like half a pizza in size stuck in my throat
) has now grown to the point of causing serious interference in my throat. I endure a few choking episodes (well, more like
choke-lings or
choke-ettes at this stage) as the web seems to move or 'flap' around whilst tightening. A few days ago my voice could only chirp like a baby bird then my voice went down to hoarse growl, it's now somewhere in between but changes either way as I talk. My throat is also permanently painful.
There we have it, joy in all it's forms.
