Update: I am now on week four in Hell. I don't know if I am getting better or not. All the doctors just keep coming in and poking at me and saying that we just have to wait. I have had to go through a lot of x-rays and CT Scans and stuff this week. No one has anything bad to report from the images. They just keep pulling this tube further out of my nose. So my stomach is staying fuller and I am not getting as sick as quickly. Today they finally gave me some anit-inflammatory drugs for the tremendous irritation this tube in my nose is causing. I have to say that it works pretty well. I am not completely painless now but I can swallow melted ice chips again with a lot of patience and effort. This is a step up as I had completely lost that ability.
