Thanks for that info Millie, certainly sounds very hopeful and

my surgeon is very knowledgeable in gastro problems so I am not anticipating

any problems.

Hi Andy

Just read your note. I had my Myotomy on December 5,

2007, stayed one night in the hospital and drove home 2 days later (467

miles). I had soft foods like mashed potatoes, meat loaf with gravy,

applesauce, mushy cooked veggies (no raw), mushy canned fruits (no raw).

As Dr. Rice told me mushy stuff. I am now advancing into other areas and

hope to be eating most anything by the time I go back on Feb. 5 & 6 for

check-up. Now your Drs might want something else but I ate soft stuff

with gravy on it.

I had no pain medication after day of surgery, was out of

surgery at 1:30 and in my room by 4 pm and up and walking by 7 pm that night.

Sleep all night and have been moving every since. So be a little

concerned because of your knowledge but it will go fast.

Here's wishing you God luck on the 18th and hoping you come

out in good shape.

Hi

Hope everybody

has had a good holiday and looking forward to their impending surgery. I myself

have got a myotomy scheduled for the 18 January which is a bit nerve racking

considering I have never really had any surgery so to speak and I lost my Son

just before Christmas during/after surgery so my mind will be on overtime as it

gets nearer.

Had a call from

the hospital yesterday just to check some medical details and to confirm my

MRSA swabs were clear so it’s all systems go...

Just a quick

request – what should I expect short term in the way of eating –

mine is the keyhole method and I am expected to be discharged after 2 nights

all being well.

Thanks again

for all the kind comments regarding my Son, – it’s still

pretty difficult but I am trying to look to the future as at the end of the day

that’s all I can do! As the Father said at the funeral, Chris

‘lived’ his short 21 years whereas he ‘sees’ many

people who are 80+ and have just existed for most of their life – I

think you will know what I mean. For example had never been out of this

country (UK) but there weren’t many place within it where he hadn’t

been whereas some kids have their annual 2 week holiday in the sun but have

never been 200 miles down the road to their countries Capital (London) –

he loved exploring.
