Another Trach Examination

Today I had another examination by the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist including having my trach tube changed. My last trach change was 6 weeks ago in early May. When the ENT specialist examined me at the end of March (which I referred to as having a Microscope up my Nose) I had been having a lot of pain in my neck area around the trach. I am thankful that pain is completely gone. The ENT specialist says that area looks quite good now. The surgery that was scheduled has been cancelled.

The ENT specialist was also going to schedule me for a Cat Scan to examine the source of the pain in my neck area. So I studied up on the Cat Scan technology as shown in the diagram below. Since the pain is now gone it is probably just as well that examination is now cancelled.
