Then after transplant they tried to put in a feeding tube with the same method because i wasn't eating enough. I threw up all over myself when they were putting it in and it hurt like hell while they moved the thing around putting it in. I think the kidney biopsy i had was more pleasant than putting that in. Then about two hours later when the doctor came in and saw the thing was making me compulsivly gag they removed it because they didn't want me vomiting into my new lungs. Oh what a fun experience.Matt Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136135849022014151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479526014968221600.post-28053575816863298972008-10-07T20:54:00.000-04:002008-10-07T20:54:00.000-04:00Hey Beautiful Chickadee!!!I'm glad it's going bett...Hey Beautiful Chickadee!!!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad it's going better this time... And I'm glad it's almost over! I managed to dodge that whole thing -- I don't think they were as freaked about reflux and GERD when I was transplanted. Oh, they were concerned -- and I was already on meds -- but now they really watch closely... It's been implicated in a lot of problems -- and it's even thought as a potential cause for cases of IPF!<BR/><BR/>Sorry about all the drips and snots and un-hockable-loogies or whatever... You never cease to make me chuckle... A sense of humor is a wonderful thing when you're going through this because without it, well, you turn into a sour, old bitch so do us all a favor and keep it...<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo -- I'm glad this is almost over with -- and I hope you get <B><I>the call</I></B> very, very soon afterwards!!!<BR/><BR/>I hope you're hanging in there, Bree... I think of you often...<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/>SteveBreathinStevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425167024998690437noreply@blogger.com
