Thanks for contributing, Cheryl, and I'm so sorry to hear about the travails your husband is enduring. It's a little unbelievable in fact for me to hear that they didn't spot the swallowing disorder right away. All of my doctors brought that up immediately when I started describing symptoms. There must be something else at work with him that would lead them to think otherwise.

I'll keep my good thoughts flowing your way and his. Compared to him what I'm experiencing is a walk in the park.
