Thank you Minnie and Khaja. I will let my mom know about how long she will have that choking sensation and let her know about sleeping in the recliner. It makes sense. When my baby is sick the pediatrician has me put her on an incline so that everything flows down. I will definately tell her about that. My mom is so positive and doing everything she was doing before radiation. She even wants to go back to work sooner than the doctor says. He said sometime around June 1st she is thinking of going back in the beginning of May. She cannot wait to get her taste back. The doctor did not give her a peg tube so she is barely getting anything down at this point. I keep telling her to stay hydrated so she increases her pain meds and then she is barely able to swallow but she was eating soups and drinking BoostPlus up until last week. She could still loose about 10 more pounds without being too skinny so the doctors are not too concerned.

Hope you all had a good weekend. I'll let you know how she is next week.....
