I have been dilated!

My throat is very sore, but I can feel that my breath isn’t being ‘caught’ on it as much. I’m coughing a lot as is usual after these things, I’ll know how things are in a few days.

Out of context, the previous lines are actually really kinky.

We’re of course talking about my lungs and my tracheal stenosis. Which is what my discharge papers called it.

It was fairly standard as far as hospital stays go. I had some nice room-mates and we talked for hours and hours [which might be why my throat is still so sore]. We asked for toast at about 10pm just because it sounded yummy. I walked the corridor after midnight because I couldn’t sleep. The next morning I went to see my ENT, I have an ear infection. My right ear started making buzzing noises in December and it hasn’t stopped. Happily, this infection hasn’t hurt. I have ear drops and I’m not to swim or wear my hearing aid for a fortnight. After that I went to see vasculitis; my blood tests were normal, despite the wrist pain. So the plan is to decrease the steroids by 1mg ever two weeks stopping when I get to 2mg.

I’ve been sitting and watching TV/movies since I got home yesterday. Feeling very floaty, which I expect is from having all the anxiety and adrenalin.

The best part is that I get to go and do it all again in 12 weeks!
