Glad you're getting excellent care, especially after all you've been through. The solid food thing is tough. Took me months. Like you I had a swallow problem with the epiglottis not closing completely, had the x-ray tests, went to swallow therapy, did the exercises. It just plain takes time, for me the better part of 9 months.
I'll continue to think good thoughts about you - glad you're back at work!
