Im amazed at how quickly you came home from the hospital. Must be from the TORS surgery. Congrats on doing so well!!!!

You picked a great person to learn from Stef is one patient who did amazingly well going thru her treatments and recovery. How did she do it? She listened to everything everyone told her, paid close attention to every little detail and worked so hard to hit her daily minimum intake amounts... every single day! She's someone everyone who is in the treatment phase should attempt to emulate. She did so well I barely had to nag her at all. The recipe for the rinse you got from Steph should be one cup warm water, 1 tsp baking soda and 1 tsp salt. Unfortunately the salt usually burns like crazy (at least it did for me). Its perfectly alright to cut back on the salt, just do your very best to keep as much as possible in your concoction. Swish it around in your mouth/throat for 30 sec to 1 minute, spit it out and if you can repeat the process again. Do the rinses at least 4 times a day.

Be careful with quinoa, rice, bread, etc. Those foods are sticky and can lead to choking when tiny pieces get stuck in the back of your throat. The link below is to our List of Easy to Eat foods. These are foods arent spicy, they have a smoother texture and are easier to swallow than others. Make sure you talk with your doctor about what they think you should be eating.

Best wishes with your continued recovery.
