OK update, I did manage to get into ENT doctor today that hospital wanted me to see.I called this morning and they got me in this afternoon ,Kool,right very nice doctor ,so I explained every thing to him that happened to me last year and why I had a trac to try with.OK so he has my record;s from the hospital where they done the CT on my throat.He looks in my ears,nose,mouth,and looks at my old scar where its leaking and feel's around it and OUCHIE OUCHIE.He says continue the med's the hospital gave me for infection,and STAY away from people because I dont need more infection then I already have.OK can do that.Then he says he wants to see me in a week to check on infection because he needs to do a test where he goes up and down my nose*gross* he wants to check to my vocula cords to make sure they are ok seens I have to keep clearing my throat and I'm choking on food,and I have a large knot,He says it may be scar tissue in throat from Trac and the scar tissue is pushing it forward and aparently I had little pin holes in scar that couldnt be seen and thats where the abcess's formed from the pressure.So anyways after he does the test and infection gets under control then YEP you guess it SURGERY to open bottom of throat scrap everything out and remove scar tissue and clean it up then stich it closed nice and clean,so ugly ass scar like I have now,. But over all VERY NICE DOCTOR!!!!!!!

Sounds like you got to the right doc. Wishing you all the best and an equally good appointment next week and future treatments. Good news.

glad you got in and are on the way to recovery, even if that means another surgery.
