Well sorry to everyone I missed at the snowboard show, I do have a pretty good excuse...

 

So Last Sunday was ThanksGiving and I sat down with my family to eat had taken 2-3 bites and felt something wierd in my throat...Like I was choaking but I was breathing fine...so I grabbed a glass of water and went down to the bathroom...Suddenly I started having chest pains and I started forcing myself to throwup what i had eaten...Once...Twice...and then the blood started coming up...Minutes later I was at the Orangeville hospital...After 8 x-rays and some drugs...they couldnt get my esophages to relax and couldn't see the problem...so they decided to send down a tube to force anything in my throat into my stomach...So they gave me a bit of a sedative and proceeded with the procedure...It was a failure, when they removed the tube and woke me up my esophages went into spasm...The say that this is just as painful as having a heart attach...And I can attest that it is plenty painful...It sucked, even after 30min of morphine I was still unable to catch my breathe...I think it is the most pain i have ever felt...There next step was to get a different Dr. to look at me...They sent me to Newmarket via ambulance to see a thorasic specialist...After being in there emergency room for about 10min I had already had 2 x-rays and was on my way for an MRI...The last step was the Barium swallow...where they make you swallow strawberry chalk infront of an x-ray machine...They found the problem (so they though) and proceeded into surgery...

 

Here is the breakdown...I had a 4cm tare in my Esophages it didnt go through (Thank GOD!!)  and the surgery was to scope it and to insert two tubes into me a chest tube and a gastrol tube...

 

Well I am home now and healing...

That is the update...

I will be quick to reply to the posts that I have yet to reply too...
Peace!
