HI
i had my first trachael stenosis surgery, two MOndays ago

it went really well. My throat hurts quite a bit, even with oxycodone!
but i can stand the pain, right? I'm a weggie warrior hear me roar!
well, talk at a decent volume, no screaming, yelling for me anymore,
gotta baby this !

the surgeon made scalpel cuts in the scar tissue, did a balloon dilation, then injected steroids to prevent it swelling closed again

the opening in the scar tissue was so small before the surgery, i sounded like Darth Vader, I felt like i was gonna suffocate. It was scary!

I now have a 50% normal opening and feel I can breathe well!

what a relief!

NOW, i'm am ever so curious as to how long this will last!!
