Today Mom had an appointment with her radiologist. After learning her symptoms, Dr. Gore prescribed some medications to help. Because of the pain that Mom experiences when swallowing, Dr. Gore believes that there is some excessive irritation in the esophagus. So, she prescribed her a stronger medication for coating her esophagus. Dr. Gore also prescribed a medication that will reduce the acid in her stomach. This should relieve the extreme acid reflux that sends Mom into coughing fits that are much like the dry heaves.
At this point, the doctors are not going to run any tests. We need to get Mom feeling better first! So, they set up two appointments -- one in two weeks that Mom only needs to keep if she is not feeling better. The other is in a month.
Mom was excited because on the way home they stopped at the Lazy-Boy store and ordered Mom the comfiest chair imaginable! Mom said that she has never sat in anything quite like it. It is going to be delivered on Thursday, along with a $1400 desk that Dad got for $99. Not bad!
