Wednesdays endoscopy did not go well as the endoscope would not go past the stricture in my eosophagus. Only one biopsy could be taken. I return monday week to the Marsden to discuss where we go from here. My key worker says it didn't tell us anything we didn't already know. The stricture is severe.
However, it has left me feeling pretty low the last few days. Swallowing remains so difficult and I am worried that it will always be so. I am not sure how much more mashed potato and milkshakes I can stomach.
