Quick Update

Friends, I am sorry for slacking on my posts! The good news is that right after I started this blog, I got a new job. The bad news is that I became too busy to post, but I promise to make up for that.

Almost a year after my surgery, I'm enjoying the best health I have had in twenty years. In a nutshell:

* My voice improved 85%.
* My asthma decreased 95%.
* My only food and drink limitations are caffeine (I drink it once a week maximum, because it can cause burning in my stomach) and alcohol (I stick to one drink three times a week).
* I'm taking a fraction of the medication I was taking pre-surgery: One AciPhex, no Reglan, 1-2 Axids or so a month (if I watch the caffeine and alcohol, I don't need Axid at all), minimal simethicone, no prednisone, and minimal inhalers. 
* My stomach feels completely NORMAL for the first time in my adult life.

I went on a Caribbean cruise in January and had fries, a milkshake, and a margarita on the same day--and my stomach felt great!

Good health is an amazing feeling!
