Max, so glad to hear all went well. I had a trach in for 6 days while in hospital, and am just graduating from fluid to pur�es. My tongue feels like a giant cotton ball an of course only half s actual tongue so swallows difficult. But hey, the hardest part is over!

Take care, and I hope you have friends who can help after your folks leave
