Thanks for all of the positive encouragement. I am going on week four starting this Monday. I am actually able to sleep in my bed half way through the night! I usually fall asleep in recliner then go upstairs! I am swallowing more and have less saliva. Doing a ensure shake by mouth with each meal and can swallow pills; but still use PEG for 3 cans of jevity 3 times a day. Tried scrambled eggs on Friday but may have over did it; threw up a little bit after. I took a break today but i think I will try yogurt and apples sauce today!! So far doctors say things are healing good; did get a case off thrush frown but treating with anti-fungal. Overall I can open mouth fairly well; but have been reading a lot of blogs about Trismus so I am doing exercises just to be safe!! Take care everyone! God Bless!!
