Hi all,

I am almost 2 weeks post treatment. I am just starting to see a little improvement. My big challange are calorie intake, water intake, and thick nasty saliva.

I also have a little flap problem. A little water and saliva sneaks down the wrong hole. This causes me to cough more than I should. This also makes it hard to drink liquids more than a spoon full at a time.

Today I have a swallow therapy doc appt. It is a new program where they get involved early. She was sick of seeing people one year out with full blown problems with little hope for improvement.

It still hurts to drink but it does feel like it is getting better.

I am 100% on the peg but I think my swollow doc is going to make me eat something today and give me lots of home work.

No taste yet but I really miss food.
