My well being has spread from yesterday to today, thankfully. I’m still somewhat fatigued, but not drastically and once I get started on something, I am able to finish the task. I did go in for another bag of IV fluids and a dose of IV antibiotics just to be on the safe side. I didn’t schedule anything for Friday; we decided to play that by ear. I haven’t had any vomiting today, so that’s been a blessing. Hopefully I will continue making progress and stop having these down days. I am starting to drink some water. Sometimes I can do it without coughing hardly at all, and other times I just cough and cough and cough. That too shall pass. My voice is sort of trying to make a presence, but failing rather miserably still. I think once I can talk, I should be able to drink, eat, and do all those normal mouth and throat things. Heal esophagus, heal!
I have decided that I’m going to decrease my patch to 75 mcg/hr tomorrow and see how that goes. I’m just wandering if that’s what’s making me so sleepy because if it is, that would be an easy fix once all the pain is gone. I’ll know by Friday morning how that’ll work for me.
