Yall gotta see this! Oh i’m feeling much better , but still have a lump in my throat every morning from the swelling. It’s not hurting my eating at all anymore though.

I’m able to eat pretty normally now. I’m back up to 175 lbs and i would like to level off there but i have to quit eating so much. I certainly enjoyed it for a few days when i was trying to put the weight back on. I had the staples taken out today at [...]

Sick Boy Originally uploaded by Memphis Joe. This is me putting on my best happy face despite the way i feel. I just had the neck surgery two days before. I guess i’m improving a little each day. Swallowing, like I said earlier, i think, is still the big problem. I’m hungry and soup just [...]

I’m back home from having surgery on my neck. The scarry part is that i can’t swallow very well. Something that most people take for granted. I have had swallowing problems in the past so I don’t exactly take it for granted but this is rediculous. It’s hard to even get my coffee down right [...]
