\nA very quick note. Surgery was last Friday and was incredibly successful. They feel very confident that they got all the cancer. Only problem is they had to take out a good portion of the esophagus and trachea. No longterm downside. Just makes recovery a little tougher. I came home last Tuesday night and I’m wishing I was back in the hospital for the iv pain meds. Way to hard to swallow pills although I have some good ones. At this point, no follow treatment is necessary ie radiation or chemo. Recovery is 4 weeks at home. Then I can slowly start to get back into my routine. Liquid diet for two more weeks. Then soft foods for 2-4 weeks. Hope everyone is doing well and thank you for all of the well wishes I received last week. They all meant a lot to me. <\/p>\n

FYI, Get the pain pills that go in the other end as they work just as well and are absorbed quickly.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

They have me on daulaudid which is a tiny tiny pill. So it’s not too bad. And when I have to take the other medications, which is once a day, I have this numbing spray that works well for about 15 minutes. So I take the medicine, drink a bottle of water and eat a suger pop all in that 15 minutes. But I just don’t have it in me to do anything in the other end. But thanks for the suggestion.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Glad to hear that you are doing well after the surgery. Those dilaudid pack a real punch. My girlfriend was prescribed them last year. If you continue having problems swallowing pills you can get some liquid pain meds that would be easier on you. I know that you can get Vicodin in liquid form.
\n\tHope to hear that you are back at the tables soon.
