Guest guest Posted April 2, 2006 Report Posted April 2, 2006 Dear Deborah, I was so sad to hear of your health problems so soon after your surgery and wish you a very speedy recovery from all these miseries. You were a great comfort to me when I was at my worst back in February and in fact, the problems you are now suffering are similar to the ones I had before the 2nd dilatation. Fortunately nearly 6 weeks on everything seems to be behaving itself and my life is virtually back to normal. I feel my GE did the best job he could and that whats been done was right for me at the time, but its always in the back of my mind that things could backfire and I'll be seeing him again in the not too distant future. Have you had a flu or pneumonia jab? I already had a flu jab in October last, but when I came out of hospital after treatment I had a pneumonia jab as I think both these jabs help with possible complications of 'A'. Also I have a diet high in antioxidants, like blueberries, pomegranates, tomatoes, dried apricots and kelp may help boost the immune system and keep you healthy. Well I hope things improve for you very soon and please keep us all posted. From in Essex xxx Quote

I assume it is the same where you are. It will not prevent aspiration pneumonia. You might want to discuss this with your doctor. Maggie Alabama Quote
