…Heart On Her Sleeve…

The doctor came into the room after the re-evaluation and said that he didn’t find any leaks or anything wrong and thinks the pain is attributable to above normal swelling. He said he went and thoroughly flushed the area.

I’m happy to report that when Jude came back, she reported that the piercing swallowing pain was gone and was now experiencing a ‘2′ out of 10 on the pain scale (a good thing). She looks a lot better now and is just really tired from the entire 72 hour experience. We’ll see overnight/tomorrow what happens but I’m hoping that there was just some gas trapped somewhere that got released when the doctor poked around in her.

I doubt that she’s going to be released tomorrow so I’m planning to be in the illustrious ypsilanti michigan until Saturday.

So what we thought yesterday was normal gas pain from the procedure doesn’t seem to be gas related. Jude has been complaining of a sharp stabbing pain anytime that she swallowed. An ‘8′ on the 1-10 scale, ‘6′ was what she reported right after the procedure…

The x-rays taken this morning were ‘fuzzy’ (the idiotic term that the doctor used) and that they needed to take her back to the O.R to see what is going on. So we’re back to waiting and wondering and who knows what. The doctor said that theres an 80% chance it’s nothing.. if it’s not nothing he said it’s likely it’s a leak that they can resolve.

That’s pretty much all the information that I have right now and I will do my best to let the internet know what the results were and how our famour heroine is doing.
