Hi, Bonnie,

         I never had a single dilation.  Instead I was diagnosed with A and I

decided,

after discussing my situation with people on this site, that I'd go ahead with a

myotomy instead of having dilations. But I put off the surgery because my

very beloved ie dog had cancer and I wanted to be with her to the end.

Afterward, I returned to Cedars-Sinai and was told that my E. had become

much worse and that the surgery was absolutely the right thing to do. 

        Now I am having some old troubles returning and I am considering

having a dilation.  But I need to see my M.D. 

        I know about pneumonia; I've had it six times, all of which were before

I had my myotomy.  I hope none of us ever get it again.  It scares me.  My

lungs aren't so good at this point and I'd rather let that one slide away.

 

        Best wishes,
