Health - 17 July 2006

She had her surgery last Monday. She was admitted to the hospital on Friday for dehydration. She was also vomiting and had a fever. She came home Saturday. She still doesn't/won't eat. She normally has a very big appetite. I have to force her to drink. I bought everything they said to give her: popsicles, jello, noodle soup, sherbert, pudding, kool-aid. We saw the ENT today and he said that her throat is very dry even after all the fluids I've been pushing( Atleast 8oz total every hour). He also said she's at higher risk for bleeding when the scabs start falling off. Anyone else have problems post-op? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe I'm looking for a miracle here, condoms are passion killers and I can't take chemical conraceptives such as the pill becase I'm at high risk of a stroke. Is there any other effective methods (other than celibacy) I can use to avoid pregnancy?

I sometimes think that not working anymore is the end of the world. I don't go out, but there got to be something to do inside that I can get my mind of thinking the death is the better way out.

My dad has a throat condition that makes it difficult for him to swallow. This became a problem a few weeks ago when I had to do the Heimlich maneuver on him. He's supposed to be going in for surgery to repair the damage in his throat (that's causing the problem), but my mom's not strong enough to do the Heimlich on him, and I don't think leaning on a chair would have worked.

I heard about a "portable suction machine" that some ALS patients use who have swallowing issues. Does such a machine exist, how much are they, and where do I find them?

Thanks!

- His Brutal Hand -

Splattered tears drentched the ground where I lay
Breathing took a minate to remember the way

I tried and tried
I failed and failed

My head held an inpossible pain
I felt my heart beating in my brain

He just walked so coldly away
Leaving me to my own aid

Looking I saw it all
So much, so scared

Dripping and running it smuthered my face

Bleeding
Bleeding
