Thank you all for your great advice. I did see my RO and was referred to a SLP. I had a swallow study done on Friday and am awaiting results. My SLP has given me set of exercises to do at home and they are the same or very similar to the ones that T posted, so thank you T as this was great and accurate advice and very useful for me and hopefully someone else for future reference. I am going to check out the swallowing apps for iPad too. Every little bit of exercise helps. Thank you all for lighting a fire under my butt to DO something and not be so passive. Btw, I didn't know we had to keep these exercises for essentially the rest of our lives, so thanks for that tidbit as well! I would have gotten (hopefully) everything in shape and then....forgot about it! You all have been such a great help.
