I have not posted for a while, so here is an update. I started actually feeling better in August. I did not realize how bad I felt until I started feeling better. The sore throat is much better, still some discomfort, only minor. I am now taking about 50% of my calories by mouth, the goal is 75% by the first of the year. Eating is very difficult, as with this whole process, improvement is ever so slow. If I reach that goal we are going to do another swallow study,and if all goes well remove the PEG. Next check up at Moffit is 01/25. In short things are good and improvements continue.
