Holding your Head up is a Chore in Itself

I recently had a trach installed almost 2 weeks ago to help heal radiation in my throat. my ears burn, my throat feels like someone left something in there, you talk about phlem, out of the trach, mouth, continues, plus trying to squeeze food down is a chore. I go to the Doctor tomorrow to hear the game game plan, I hope the relief and something to regain my voice is soon to be told to me, getting threw this mentally is a struggle, I'm tired, Please keep me in your prayers tonight, and hope something will be offered with positive directions. Thank you, Dennis

    Dennis, keep fighting. I
    Dennis, keep fighting. I hear ya on the side effects of all this. I can't say I had things as bad you are going through but I had some. I wish I could say/do more but all I can do is offer you encouragement. You are the guy in the ironman triathalon who is within sight of the finish line and stumbling. There are people right there by him but they can't touch him to help or he will be disqualified. They can only offer words to get him to the end. I'm sorry that's all I can do for you as well. I hope you have people close to you that can do more than I can. Don't give up. I'll be thinking of you everyday and looking to hear from you on this site. Good luck.
