Bleeding Lingual Artery Aneurysm = Changes, like liquid diet and more

Hi @colleenyoung
My liquid diet is by mouth. No feeding tube needed at this time.
I’m able to drink most consistencies and pureed foods.
I totally accept that this appears to be what I will live with but I have seen cases whereas someone is told they will never walk again but prove the doctors wrong. I will let you know when I eat my first BBQ’d steak :).
I’m on liquid Hydromorphone and Tylenol. Also, because my pain is mostly nerve related I am on Lyrica. I don’t like being on opioids again but my doctor said I need to consider quality of life. He suggested that I try to not be a hero.

Heros are defined in many ways. Combating pain without help may not be a hero. But it sounds like your wife is your hero and you hers.
