My thoughts released; a mind set free

These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations.

Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free.

Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

I have to go back to Fargo next week to have another endoscopy of my throat to ensure everything's healing correctly. This far out from surgery, it should be pretty well healed, just some scar tissue to deal with. But this past Saturday, I found myself going from eating normally (normal for me) to not being able to swallow come dinner time.

I couldn't even get liquid to go down; everything was stuck in the area of the surgery. I talked to the doctor about it on Monday when I went in for my infusion, and we both agreed that it was likely a reaction to something I ate or drank, but she wants me to have my surgeon look just in case it's something else.

What else could it be? There's a slight risk of my own immune system attacking my own body, especially at surgical sites and any injured areas, while doing the immunology treatments. Since all my labs looked good, she doesn't think it is, but better safe than sorry.

Of course, if it were a reaction to food or drink, that could be just as serious because it may indicate an allergic reaction, one bad enough to close off my throat. Since I log everything I eat to keep track of my daily nutrition and calorie intake, I can look and see what I consumed before the problem, and if it happens again, have a pretty good idea of what caused it.
