Hey Friends,
I got my surgeries today, was under the knife for about 5 hours. They removed some growths on my vocal cords as well as in my sinus cavity and multiple polyps throughout my throat. They're a bit puzzled where all of this came from.
Recovery is going to be tough, I feel like I have strep throat and can barelo swallow and my nose is bleeding profusely. I can't take
painkillers which thin blood (advil or stuff like that) so I am stuck using opiates, which make me hallucinate (veteran problems methinks). SO not looking for a pity party just like you fine people and wante dto communicate this out.
To add insult to injury I have a broken spine and have to sleep sitting
up which is the worst. Hydrocodone to the rescue! lol.
I'll get the results of the biopsies in a few days. I'm optimistic here but you never know. I'm 37 and my mom died of cancer when she was 36,
and I have a rather significant family history in general.
Well, hope all is well for you guys. My diet consists of go-gurt and
otter pops. It could be worse!
Ouch! Glad the surgeries are over and you are at the point of recovery.. The opioids are tough when I was in the hospital a couple of years ago I was taking dilaudel (I can't spell it but that is how it sounds) I
didn't need it for pain I was in none, but I used it as a sleep agent. I would take it and fall asleep within 15 minutes. Don't know if you can take that but in my case there was no hallucinations from it.
Damn dude a broken spine also? How did you do that?? Take the opioid
drugs and get over it all.. Just watch what you say when you take them.
I had the house doctor come in to see me right after I had gotten the
shot in my drip and when the Dr walked in there was a opioid abuse commercial on TV, and I said to the Dr. "Hey Doc, look at this I am watching a Opioid Abuse commercial high on Opioids!" He didn't find it amusing, and told me so in no uncertain terms, a couple hours later the house shrink walked in and wanted to talk with me! It wasn't easy making him understand it was a freaking Joke!!
Moral of the story? Don't do anything or say anything stupid to the Dr's!

That sounds shitty that you're going through that,
but glad to hear you made it through the surgery
ok. Here's hoping the biopsies come back clean.
Semper Fi.
That sucks. It's scary to get to this age and start wondering when these things might catch up with you. You're not old, but you start realizing that you're not exactly a young guy anymore. Thankfully, family history
is no guarantee that you'll have the same problems.

starting school or thereabouts and I realise how much further down the pathway of life I am from them (3 of my 4 kids have now left home and I have one 17 year old daughter who is in her last year of high school).. kinda bakes your noodle when you process how slippery time and your perceptions of it can be. Well at least that's the case for me :)

No NSAIDS.. anti-inflammatories.. would just leave you paracetamol or
your opioids, and bingo we have a winner, you get the good stuff ;)
Very hard to get any kind of script for any kind of opiates here now. Tramadol is about the borderline.
No idea what an Otterpop is... you might find milkshakes work well too. You can always bang an egg in it for a bit more protein and whatever
other goodies there are in them.
I had oral cancer about 15 years ago now. The doctors couldn't figure
out how I got it as I've never been a tobacco chewer.
That sucks... I also can't take any normal pain killers, but I don't
take opiates as I've lost a number of friends to that addiction. I
was able to get a script for cannabis pills years ago and that's what
kept me from screaming all night long. If you're Canadian or in a
state that allows medical cannabis ask your doctor for a pill / oil
script (obviously you can't smoke anything having throat / oral
cancer)
I lived on cottage cheese and cream of wheat for a while so I get it
man. Good luck!
Otterpop is a brand of popsicle in the US. They're delicious. And
yeah, milkshake sounds like a good idea. It's safe to put a raw egg
in there?
Might pay to check just in case, in my youth it was one of the post tonsilectomy staples. Also used it once or twice when I've had other throat issues (like when #1 son gave me hand foot and mouth). Eggs generally are sterile, but it does depend on storage because the shells are actually permeable. You should normally try and store eggs in a
clean dry location with some air movement in an open basket kind of arrangement. Or if you prefer the fridge.

Ah, I think you're probably not American :P Our eggs are pre-treated for safety and they lose the outer membrane, thus making them less safe. Oh well. Lol. I still sometimes make drinks with raw egg white or eat
raw cookie dough.
Capitalism at it's best. Let us add some food colouring and sugar to water, freeze it and then sell it to the masses.
Is that a result of the surgery or...?
It could. Hope you are feeling better soon!
I've never seen a foreign egg :) If it was here*, I'd say its a no brainer and just do it. However given the nature and range of injuries for want of a better term, might just be worth checking in with yer GP.

Am going back to see my dr for a 6 month check up in around 2 weeks.
How does this work in place of mental health meds? If you have a prescription for it from an actual doctor...would many companies accept that to keep from losing your job?
Please forgive my naive question...do you get a buzz off the pills
like with smoking it? Am tired of feeling dizzy much of the time & want something which gives me the hi's/lo's I'm currently getting.

Egg yolks in the US are very yellow whereas everywhere else I've
traveled the yolks are quite orange. Plus, in the US, you're required to refrigerate eggs. I prefer eggs in other countries.
prescription for it from an actual doctor...would many companies acce that to keep from losing your job?..Again here in Canada it's legal for anyone over the age of 19 to use
so the risk of job loss for us doesn't apply.
like with smoking it? Am tired of feeling dizzy much of the time & wa something which gives me the hi's/lo's I'm currently getting.If you get ones with THC yes, I stick with mainly high CBD and a small
amount of THC for night time use as the combonation helps me sleep for
a few hours.

Thanks for the pointer. I'll see if I'm able to sleep through the night
and aybe ask the doc tomorrow. I keep wasking up gasping for air, like im forgettingn to breath. Ugh.

I'm feeling that these days, I'm over 50 and it seems like some days I
might as well be over 65... I only say that because there are times at
work when I'm around colleagues who are parents of kids either just
starting school or thereabouts and I realise how much further down the pathway of life I am from them (3 of my 4 kids have now left home and I
have one 17 year old daughter who is in her last year of high school).. kinda bakes your noodle when you process how slippery time and your perceptions of it can be. Well at least that's the case for me :)
Most likely related to the sedatives. It has happened to me before too, normally after drinking beer and taking Nyquil or something like that
for a cold. Makes you a bit too relaxed - at least that is my
assumption.
I have kept all my financial records in Quicken since I was around 18 years old. Recently switched everything over to MoneyDance, but as part of the process was looking over old bills, paychecks, etc. Really
brought back memories. I even saw some monthly checks I wrote to our
