Thanks!

I was planning on asking to be referred to a GI specialist at my next Dr appointment. At the very least I would like to make sure this acidic stuff isn't doing any damage to my oesophagus.

Sucks when you can't get a massage, I'm sure you'd agree that it would at least help the stress if anything!

yeah I'm taking it easy and taking my time recovering, it's hard when you used to be very independent and now are forced to rely on people to help you. Also when your partner doesn't really notice or see it as serious as it is. It's like an invisible injury to most people, except for my burping and being generally slower than I am used to.

Sorry if it seems like I'm venting, it's just the first time since I was injured that I've felt a little understood.
