The tongue is fixed!

[chilihead]

Well almost 5 months to the day from my surgery and my problem with the "isolated 12th nerve" in my tongue is fixed. The ENT doc said it would repair itself in time and it did. I'm also doing phase 3 cardiac reahb and riding my bike a few times a week. Life is good!

Gosh Jim-

Took a while, but that's wonderful news. It had to be the worst feeling. I'm happy for you.

Jim,

Great to hear.
So did your chili recipe help it or make it worse?

"isolated 12th nerve"????


I'm just asking because I've got a date with an ENT on Monday to see if we can make some headway on whatever they heck it is that's making me cough all the time....


I did have some vocal chord paralysis after being on a vet for 5 weeks plus and my suspiscion is that it could be related to why I'm coughing up crap like I am now.


Just wodnering if there's something else I could ask the doctors about.

Glad to here your thing corrected itself.

Hi chili

Hi chili

You were the biker member I was thinking about. Lance Armstrong will pass in my small county in Georgia Sat. at noon. I have already picked a spot for my age 11 year old Grandson to watch him go by. Tour du Georgia. Bonnie

What great news. It just goes to remind us that recovery does take awhile. I'm glad you are feeling so well!

Actually, it's interesting that you're into biking. I walked a little farther than I intended today, and spent about an hour downtown in a famous cycling town nearby - Somerville, New Jersey.

Glad to hear that isolated nerve is finally speaking to the rest again.

thats great

I'm very glad for you. My speach is alittle off . But mine unlike yours is due to a stroke during surgery. It very mild and my wife says you can harly notice it. So I am alittle jelious. Wish mine would vanish. ha ha ha
