Thanks for ubeat replies, I really appreciate the responses, it keeps me sane. Some days I'm just a little depressed w/ not being able to drink a cup of water normal and not feel everything it's doing on it's way down and not have to hold my chest and wait for pain to subside because I either drank it too fast (although I didn't think so) or didn't wait long enough between my last morsel of food.

I pray everyday that it will get better and I know I am, just not fast enough for my taste. Today as I type this letter I actually feel a little less of the uncomfortableness from the stutures.

The one thing I never really asked my doctor about is alcohol. Is it okay to drink a glass of wine, beer or a shot of alcohol?

Again thanks guys I know you all don't know me but I'm usually an upbeat person this is something totally new for me.
