Due to circumstances beyond my control I fell of the wagon "yet again"!!
This time I was whisked of by ambulance to the local hospital with a severe pain in my upper back !
After a day in the emergency room, it finally came down to emergency surgery in the Endoscopy unit! For some reason I have a deep sore of some sort in my esophagus that was inflamed and contained food particles !!
To much inflammation so couldn't do anything, but put me on medication,soft foods only diet and drink plenty of water to settle the monster down, so the pain eased of and is at bay thank goodness!
Now I am scheduled for Aug 25 to do this procedure again, and hopefully fix it!!
"No more sword swallowing practice for me"!!
So I am finally able to sit at my computer, for awhile instead of jumping in here and there for a few minutes at a time!
I was thinking since I started out on this subject it would be a good time to do some Swallowing, as in Tree Swallows that is !! "Sorry couldn't help that": ) !

I had 6 of my nest boxes with Tree Swallows nesting in them!!
Most had a good fledgling count, and this is one of them from July 11!!
This was a busy box in which 6 hungry little mouths where constantly being feed!!
"Well maybe not so little a mouth"
Very demanding mouth's!!
"Screaming mouth's"
Full, and content for the moment!!
Well I won't turn down just one more!!
Love those little demanding faces! Great series. Take care of yourself, too.

DeleteWonderful swallow photos! How neat to get to watch a family like this. I'm sorry about your health woes. Mike's dad has a similar problem.....he has a pouch on his esophagus that catches the food. Unfortunately, he is too old to operate on it. I hope your problem gets sorted out and you have no more problems with it. Praying for you! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary .... appreciate your concern...I'll try to get a email off to you !! : )
DeleteSorry to hear you haven't been well, and hopefully you'll get the problem all fixed with the next surgery. Not a good way to spend your summer at all! I love your swallow shots--those screaming mouths are enough to cause fear in any mother!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo post, Grace, with the subject being rather appropriate to your circumstances. Thanks so much for the email updates as well. We are glad you are feeling better and keeping you in our thoughts for the upcoming procedure.
ReplyDeleteThose are great photos Grace but I am so sorry to hear about your health problem. Must have been scary and I am glad they found out what the problem was so that it can be fixed. Take good care of yourself, you are in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI've been away and missed this post. So sorry that you've bee ill. Pain in the upper back - who'd have thought it would be esophoglial? Here's to a speedy recovery!!
