Hi again

I’m currently in hospital after having a RIG fitted yesterday and I’ve never had so much pain in my life. I’m meant to be going home today but it hurts my stomach to move or walk, I’m so fed up, did anyone else suffer this much with the fitting? 

  • did your mucus seem to not be so thick before ir almost stopped my mucus still coming but the texture seems to of changed and not be so thick tonight x

  • Yes mine was the same. It was at it worst 2 weeks post RT whereas the thick sticky stuff has gone now thank God xx

    • i spoke to soon its thick again this morning but dont seem as much and my syliva does not seem to be as much so far ive not had to wipe it out my mouth or spit out since i woke up had to cough more mucus up but so far defo dont seem to be producing as much i just drunk some water and throat dont seem as sore either so ive just made myself some green lemon tea with honey in to test it out n see if i can drink it lets pray we started to turn that recovery corner slowly but surely i hope u have an even better day today than yesterday sue Fingers crossedxx
  • iam so much better today ive managed a cup of green tea half a bowl of soup and a small lil pot of ski yogurt i cant believe it my spit has stopped producing like mad and the mucus is no where near as much as it had been i hope u r having a better day as well xx

  • spoke to soon again the mucus eased up earlier but since after noon that n the syliva r both back non stop x

  • Wow that’s great news Donna. Unfortunately my tongue is still burning so I’ve not been able to even attempt soup,  I’ve started getting hunger pains now that my appetite has returned which makes me more annoyed that I can’t eat anything. I’ve started walking again with my neighbour so that’s a start on getting back to normal and actually did more than the 100 steps of late where I stay in every day! Xx

  • thats brilliant well done i need to start walking again i got 62 miles to do for charity b4 the end of the month but they have said i can have til middle of november to get them done once i told them ive just finished cancer treatment ive not tried to eat anything else as i dont want to do to much to quick but the syliva and mucus have come back they had slowed down then started again but baby steps for us both xxx

  • and its all gone wrong again the vomiting is back and my syliva is thickess its ever been i not tried to eat or drink since the soup earler so was water and feed i bringing up again so disappointing min everything seems to be going well the next am back to square 1 Tired faceTired faceTired faceTired faceTired face

  • Oh no I’m so sorry Donna just when things were looking up. I’ve had a similar day of highs then tonight I tried some juice and hit the roof with my tongue on fire again so had another early night x

  • it really is a rollercoaster i just thought once we start turning tbat corner theres no going back how wrong was i xxx
