ENT Followup

I had my doctor's appointment this morning.

Very nice doctor, can't say the same for what he had to do to me.

I have 2nd degree burns at the start of my esophagus as well as the larynx. There is obvious scabbing in my throat and there will be some scarring. The degree of scarring and permanent changes will determine if I have to have other procedures done.

He wants to continue eating (duh) but on a soft bland diet with nothing spicy or highly acidic. Which reminds me, I also need to go to the grocery store and get groceries. I need to get a bunch of soft stuff for me. I'm wanting pudding and soup and stuff.

I have three more prescriptions to get filled. All are pediatric variants so I can take them in a liquid form. A steriod to counter the infection (which means I have to change my diabetes meds, steriods cause a marked increase in blood sugar), an antibiotic (wouldn't strep on top of this suck?!), and yet more yummy liquid vicodin. The doctor recommended Walgreens as they will add a flavor to it for a small fee. So instead of the Lortab I'm on now, which tastes like cough syrup, I can have cherry flavored cough syrup.

All I know, I'm ready to go back to work. I'm bored silly here and there's nothing at work for me to do as I don't have my full voice.
