Oh gosh, Taylor, I'm so sorry you've had to go through all of this! I appreciate you sharing your story - I know it wasn't easy to recount. I hope things have improved, or that you're on the right track now. 🙏
Oh my god, this sounds so brutal. It's these details of a tube down the throat that they seem to gloss over and one doesn't realize how insanely awful it is. I'm floored by your courage to just make it through all this pain and still be able to talk about it. Love to you and the whole family.
Thank you. I will say I hope folks can see how much we can endure and survive in this struggle. Am I shaken? Yes. Am I broken? No. Well, haha my a little bit broken, but not in spirit. If I can get through this, so can anyone.
I'm sorry you have to endure this. I've had the dreaded NG tube. It sucks. Paralyzed throat and couldn't swallow for months. I craved a cup of tea as well. Sending you healing thoughts. ❤️
It's all in the past now. They were able to transition to a Jpeg, and eventually that was removed. Now I'm drinking tea whenever I want. I hope you can too.
Thank you for sharing this - and I was so happy to see respirators in the photos as well! I sincerely hope you’re doing better now and I wanted to commend you for your willingness to be so vulnerable and open about the experience.
I’m confident your words will help many people who are in similar circumstances 💜

Leaps and bounds better. Ty ❤️🩹
So happy to hear that! 🙏

And I'm so glad you stood up for yourself the way you did! May we all take a lesson from that!
The way you write your experience is so detailed and heart wrenching... sending healing love!
I wish this trip could've been trauma-free but no such luck. Glad to be on the mend. Love you!

It’s a nightmare! I’m so sorry.

Amazing recounting; bringing us into the brutal slowness of time. Happy for you and your family, that you are out of the woods.
Thank you. Feels like I’m more so out of a desert- a dry, lack of shade, brutal desert.
This made me cry. F__king A
I'm glad everything is okay now.
Sending hugs, healing vibes and prayers and well MORE HUGS!
You are a badass for this level of advocacy for yourself - I was right there with you when I read the exchange with the doctor.
This is why I worry so much for anyone less aware or less able to advocate for themselves or who still has old-school deference to medics.
I would have survived and recovered but I likely would have been in the hospital longer… and in more pain. And delayed seeing my daughter.
I hear you. You navigated it all amazingly well ❤️
