I read back on some of your posts. Regardless of the fact that you have similar things happening quite a bit itâs still not something to take lightly. A hospital would not be able to blow you off because of your symptoms.
I see that you often feel like you canât swallow or itâs getting stuck, and itâs affecting how much youâre eating.
Next time youâre at your family doctor ask her if thereâs any chance that you might need your esophagus stretched. Itâs a real and valid thing.
One time I ate some chicken ( chicken is one of the worst for sticking around in the throat) then swallowed a bunch of vitamins and nothing went down. Not even water.
I didnât go to the ER. Stubborn and wasnât in distress. I should have.
I wasnât drunk. I didnât drink.
I did go to the doctor the next day or so and he said I needed my esophagus stretched. So there you have it. I was young like you are.
I hope your doctor takes what you have to say seriously. And if they write it all off to anxiety, that they are sure of what theyâre doing. And do their best to treat the anxiety.
Big hugs.

Friday night check in.
Looking forward to a fairly quiet weekend. Going to watch my friend play his 300th match for his soccer club tomorrow, a great guy and absolute monument to the club and the sport. Sunday, gym and meal prep so pretty chilled weekend ahead.

Day 224 AF
Seems my issue with work mate has dissipated. Not sure what or why but heâs back to same old self. So we engage, laugh and joke around once again. I havenât brought up what the issue was. Will leave to him discuss if he wants, otherwise life goes on.
Took today off work as a vacation day and have 4 mows on the books for day. Make 3 times more on mows, lol.
Move my son tomorrow back home while he travels back to BC for two weeks then back to his new apartment when he returns. Booked trip before he knew lease on old apartment wouldnât be renewed⌠so a lot of wasted trips, but happy to help him out.
Mow my place Sat afternoon then plant a few new trees with his help, then two large properties to do on Sunday, then back to work MondayâŚ
Thatâs been my life for past 4 months mostly.
Enjoy your sober weekend folks

Hope u manage to get some good sleep! 
Do you know whatâs causing your sleeplessness? Youâve mentioned pains before, is that something that could be helped with meds or something else? Iâm about to go to sleep in Australia, but hope you have a nice & sober rest of your day

Youâre right I have been incredibly productive and am getting a lot done. But feel like Iâm running on fumes. Am hoping this weekend I can recharge and take good time to relax. Taking on this translation project has been incredibly satisfying for work but it is also feeling like healing/mental work as well which can be tiring. Iâm learning a lot through it and like that I can learn through my job this way. Also love that I can bring the first material and education about alcohol recovery to the county and that they are excited about this!

Had another productive day here. Iâve had some problematic vocabulary in some of the translations with this project (always happens)âŚitâs hard when I need to translate words that donât exist in the target language but this is one of the parts of translating I find most fun because I like the challenge of it. Some challenging words Iâve ran into this time around are hangover, craving/s, anxiety, withdrawal, binge drinking, sober and mental health (there is no word for mental). Tomorrow Iâll go on a long walk and think about what phrases to come up with to describe these new words/concepts.
If these words didnât exist within your language and without using direct definitions what would you say in replacement of them?

@acromouse sorry the dosage backfired. Hope you start feeling well soon my friend. Thanks for the sleepy vibesâŚhad a few good naps already
@Chevy55 glad all is back to normal with your work mate. Hope you enjoyed your mow day 
.
@1in8billion I did get some naps to catch up. The pain is due to a few different chronic pain issues. Meds really donât help (the side effects mess with me much worse). I hope you are doing well and enjoying working on your mental and physical health 
@Juli1 Super excited to see 200 tomorrow.
@Laner sending you luck in finding replacement words âŚthat has got to be a difficult task. Nothing is coming to mind at the moment.
Checking in on Friday evening
Been a chill day. Did manage to get some physical activities done today along with many naps. Still feeling drained and exhausted so may try to nap soon.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day⌠sending you all so much love

Havenât been on much. Just been keeping daily life duties flowing. + Swimming and eating healthy is helping me to wear my self out like a baby 
it helps so much with my mind. Everything makes sense after intense swims.
Canât wait to try out open water swimming in the ponds on Tuesday.
Might do it all through the winter, start acclimatisation and build up properly and safely.
Anyway just checking in and hope everyone is well

Ah nice Twizz. Iâve not done the ponds myself either.
