Hi Krank,
First I want to say that I am so sorry about your mothers decision, I know that can be so disheartning. She may have her reasons, she may not want to suffer. We never know how much pain someone is in until we suffer ourselves. I will keep her in my prayers.
As for your esophogus, I still say go see about an upper GI series to rule out the hiatal Hernia. But, that is just my advice. Non invasive and can rule it out. Have you tried taking Nexium or a generic for it? It not, maybe you should try that for a few months, it is over the counter. It could help heal or even take down some inflamation in the throat. It is worth a try.
My prayers are with you.
Sandy

I do try to keep water very close by when I am eating.The worst or should I say the most embarassing problem I have is when I eat in public. I try to eat very small pieces and the people I'm in company with wonder why it takes me so long to eat or why I don't finish my food. The worst problem is when the food gets stuck for a long time and I have to leave or they see me sweating to the point that I'm all wet like someone threw me in a pool. It's to the point now that I really don't go out much. My wife is so gracious though and just helps me out to our car and we call it a night.
