Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | Saw speech and doc on Monday. NG tube stays. Still no swallowing or talking. Drinking leaks through drain in neck. By the time they let me swallow again, I'm afraid I will have lost my ability to do it. Thinks don't go down now hopefully just due to swelling. Not in any pain. Taking Tylenol for wrist soreness. Heade to sisters and have to sign off.
Take care,
Eileen
