Having had two rather large operations on my neck within a month I am having problems with my swallow... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On Tuesday 17th March I went to Dumfries hospital to have an x-ray taken while trying to swallow in order to see what was going on... As can be seen in the video as I swallow the drink or food gets lodged near the opening of my wind pipe and small amounts 'leak' down the wrong way, there are exercises to help prevent this but at the moment I am unable to do them. Fortunately things do seem to be getting better everyday as my neck heals.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you look closely at my jaw you can see the reconstruction that was needed to rebuild me after the infection in October.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
During this week I also had a routine check up with my consultant and for the first time of seeing him there was nothing wrong, my next check up is now in two months (finally something good to report).</div>

Again!That's a week since my operation now and today the 40 plus staples came out along with the tracheotomy tube, the drain came out yesterday... It's not been that bad here in Dumfries, room to myself and so many visitors I'm going to have to get home for some rest.... Still have the feeding tube in at the moment as swallowing isn't too hot but I'm not surprised about that... Looking forward to a walk on the beach with Troy!<br />

Then Tuesday morning arrived, woke up at 3am for some pain relief no problem, straight back to sleep.... woke up at 6am and I couldn't move my neck, after a struggle to get up I looked in the mirror and my neck had swollen to the size of my head, not much I could do about it now so I decided to take some paracetamol and make an appointment at the doctors when they opened... Then all hell broke loose, the pressure must have found a weak stitch and blood started spurting all around the bedroom, this was rather un-nerving... An ambulance trip later I find myself being rushed through for emergency surgery to repair torn artery and wake up in ICU with a tracheostomy but a much smaller neck.... I am now in HDU and feeling fine with a move to a normal ward expected later today.... Dumfries RI is quite a nice hospital by the way.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14717077621211580110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032258180116780670.post-66522824200208527382015-02-10T18:36:00.000+00:002015-02-10T18:36:46.222+00:00Well done VodafoneI was having problems adding credit to my Vodafone dongle so I used Instant Chat...

I've lost a lot of my swallow and my speech sounds like I have a pair of Rob's sock stuffed in my mouth at the moment but this should come back, I have no interest in rushing it. The main problem has been my neck drain, it should have come out after 3 days allowing me to get back home for the weekend but on Friday for some reason the amount of outflow doubled so I've been stuck here.... It's now going down at a good rate so I'm hoping that I'll get home tomorrow and start the real process of repairing myself......<br />
Thursday 75ml - Friday 155ml - Saturday 120ml - Sunday 80ml and hopefully anything under 50ml for today, Monday Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14717077621211580110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032258180116780670.post-85185122023089135462015-01-27T12:39:00.000+00:002015-01-27T12:39:45.442+00:00Hospital UpdatesMonday 26th Jan saw me back at Dumfries RI for an update about the biopsy and CT scan I had done last week....<br />
The biopsy isn't back yet but based on the CT scan I have an enlarged node on the opposite side of my neck now, this means that another operation has now been scheduled for Monday 2nd Feb back at Glasgow Southern General for a neck dissection and the removal of all the nodes on this side. The operation will last around four and a half to five hours and I will then stay in hospital for the following five days (unless I can escape earlier). I have to go to Glasgow on Friday for a load of tests (to make sure I am healthy enough for the operation) and I'm hoping that the pathology will be back by then so that I have a better idea about things.

Phoned
my nurse today at 11.30am to see what was happening about an
appointment I have been waiting for at Dumfries RI..... after a few
minutes on hold I was told that I was expected at 2pm today and should
have confirmed as soon as I got my letter, 'what letter' I asked.....
'did you not get one, oh that's typical, just one of those things I
suppose, lucky you phoned'..... Yes it was very lucky I phoned or I
would have missed the appointment and it would have shown as a 'Did Not

very slim indeed... The joke is wearing thin now.....<br />

Before I even started, while walking Troy in the field next to the house, a fledgling Buzzard was found waiting for it's mum, the biggest 'chick' I have ever seen.<br />
Checking the fence along the cliff tops is one of the best bits, I always stop to see what I can see and just to listen to the waves but today was even better, there were 'Choughs' ( I didn't think they lived around here ) and a seal swimming around near the cave, great.<br />
After spending a little more time than I should watching the seal I set of to check the cattle down in 'Bottoms' and there, swooping across the rearing field (not good) was a Red Kite.<br />
All in all a fantastic way to start a day.....Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14717077621211580110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032258180116780670.post-68153397586821006072011-07-07T17:47:00.000+01:002011-07-07T17:51:12.036+01:00Time to move into a field I think.....<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lhuH5yCinFo/ThXkAWqkJ7I/AAAAAAAAAXk/GkikgueB9Ss/s1600/05072011230-772038.JPG"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lhuH5yCinFo/ThXkAWqkJ7I/AAAAAAAAAXk/GkikgueB9Ss/s320/05072011230-772038.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626654004204545970" /></a></p>Sent from my Nokia phoneAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14717077621211580110noreply@blogger.com0
