Well I just spent the day in the ER.

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

It figures a week before I leave I end up in the ER. I have managed to cut my esophogus just below my vocal cords (about a 1 inch cut). I was having trouble swallowing and feeling like glass was in my throat when I swallowed even saliva. I had to have a huge tampon like thing stuck up my nose to numb it then a scoped passed down my nose into my throat and swallowed into my stomach. Long story short it hurt, I puked on the doctor. If I am not better by Friday I have to have minor surgery. Dont the big man upstairs know I have free dining in a week and I really want to eat all that great Disney food. Sorry for the long vent but I had to share my crappy day. Now I am here DISing strung out on Percocets. Whoa they are strong pills. Thanks for listening if you got this far.

Oh my! That sounds terrible. I hope you get better soon. How in the world did you cut your esophogus?

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Oh my! That sounds terrible. I hope you get better soon. How in the world did you cut your esophogus?


I honestly really dont know. I had snow crabs and shrimp on Friday and the doctor thinks it was from the shells. But I never felt it happen. When my throat started swelling up is when all the pain started. It is really the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me.

:eek:

You do know that you are supposed to peel them BEFORE you eat them, right?:laughing: Sorry, if I made it hurt to laugh.:hug:

Liz, if you need anything let me know and keep us updated. Hope you feel better soon.

[Annette_VA]

Oh, my gosh! That is awful! I'm so sorry. Feel better soon.

[kab407]

I hope you get well soon.:flower3:

[lttlmc3]

Oh no! I'm sorry that happened!:hug:

[CHES94]

:rotfl2: That is hysterical that you puked on the doc! I'm a nurse and have usually been the recipient of the puke:eek:
I hope you feel better and don't have to have surgery. What was your wait time in the ER?

That is kinda funny looking back. I am a nurse too. I actually can not believe how fast my ER trip was. They took me straight back because I think they were worried my airway would be compromised. I had my xrays and exam pretty quickly. It took 2 hours for the ENT doc to arrive and do the scope which lasted about 1/2 hour. So needless to say I arrived at 10 am and got sent home at 6pm. But I am just so glad it was nothing more serious. My dad died of throat cancer so needless to say I was a bit freaked out going in.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Wow....sorry....feel better soon! :hug:

[BeamsofLight]

Ouch! That sounds awful. Hope you're feeling better soon! :hug:

[WLfan]

Tsat stinks! I hope you are better in time for your trip. That scope up the nose is THE WORST! That was more painful than my needle biopsy in my neck. I don't blame you for throwing up! Keep up updated please!

[Jennygt]

Holy cow! I hope that all goes well for you!! :goodvibes

[LilGMom]

:eek: Ouch!! Fingers and toes are crossed that you have a speedy recovery so that you can enjoy that WDW food!

[Decorated_Dust]

:rose: :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose:

I give you a garden to cheer you up.

I will be praying that you get better soon. Getting hurt right before a trip is the worst. I remember when I was 12 I dislocated my knee right before a WDW trip.
Not fun, except for the wheelchair express around the park. This might be a good excuse for a Dole Whip or two to ease the pain. :yay:

[UrsulasShadow]

Owowowowowowow! Hope you heal quickly!

[daneenm]

Yikes!!! :scared1: :scared1:

That sounds awful. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

[BilltM]

:sick:

Tell us more about how good the Perc's are working ;)

[safetymom]

Hope you are feeling better soon.

[SamIAm21]

My goodness, that sounds like a very traumatic day! I'm glad it wasn't anything more serious, but honestly, I don't think I could have handled that whole scope thing.

That sounds really :scared1:

Hope you feel much better very soon! My Rx is Dole Whips and Mickey Bars!

[calypso*a*go-go]

Hey Liz...any updates? Hopefully you are doing better today! :hug:

[DebºoºS]

Feeling better today?:hug: The DIS, Ice cream on Perc mmmmmm sounds like a delightfulful way to forget the pain.

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Hi all thanks for the well wishes. Sorry to take so long to get an update but we had a huge election party at our home tonight. My throat is much better and I can swallow without pain. I have this Lidocaine swish and swallow stuff and the pain pills so I am doing great. I had to break the pills in half because they make me nauseated. I actually had pasta without sauce and some soup while everyone else got the good suff to eat. I think it will be OK by Monday when we leave. No more bleeding and the pain is way better.

[tinkbutt]

OH SWEETIE I AM SOOOOOOOOO SORRY!!!!:sad1:

I haven't read the entire thread but I hope you are better soon:sad2: :grouphug:

I hope your get to use your free dining to the fullest!!!! I am praying and crossing my fingers for you!!!

Glad to hear you're feeling better. Wishing you a quick recovery & a wonderful trip. :flower3:

[darlabru]

I hope you feel better in time for your trip. Why is it these things happen right before we go away? I hope you will be able to eat to your hearts content on free dining. :wizard:

[sparkyboy]

So sorry for the traumatic experience that you've had and hope that you will soon be enjoying all that great food at the World. Take care.:hug:

[mjtm610]

I feel for you! I have had to have that proceedure done more times than I'd like to admit. The good news is that I "ve been told it heals quickly.
The even better news is aren't you glad it didn't happen while you were in the world?
