Thanks so much for all the help. I did talk to the RO nurse (who's wonderful) today at length, and was told about crushing many pills, just not Extended Release ones. So I got some 400mg Mucinex tablets and crushed one earlier and put in a couple teaspoons of yogurt, and feel better. I started this morning feeling nausea (not the gag/heave thing from the mucus, but actual nausea) and the doc prescribed a sublingual anti-nausea pill to use as needed. Apparently a small dose of Ativan/Lorazipam sublingually can deaden some of the gag reflex, so I'll try that if needed. I also crushed a Zantac 'cause I was feeling acid indigestion, which seems to have helped. I had a craving for Egg Drop Soup from our favorite Chinese joint, and once it cooled a little the warm, slippery stuff just went down so well. So we brought some home, and I had another 16oz tonight. I doubt it has a lot of calories or protein, but darned if I didn't feel much better after having something actually to eat!

Anyway, thanks for all the help, tomorrow is the last day of my third week. My husband keeps reminding me I'll be on the downhill slide now!
