See the picture above, you may notice that there are some black charred spots on my trach site, the reason is Doctor Walner looked at it and immediately identified it as granulation tissue, like the stuff that grew around my g-tube as my body tried to start rejecting it three months AFTER It was inserted, yeah absurd huh? That went on for a good 6 months, zapping it with Silver Nitrate sticks (They are a cauterizing agent to destroy granulation tissue around stomas and whatnot) They look like this
Silver Nitrate Cauterization Sticks
God only knows how long this will go on with my trach site but I am glad to hear it’s not another infection! I have been off antibiotics for a whole 12 days, a record this year!
