Hi Allan
glad to see your post,i have been wondering how it was going.Using a mouth numbing mouthwash prior to eating is very helful,as for the food,i invested in a blender.I made meals that were free from spices,salt ,onions and pepper,then blended them altogether with gravy.As Robs mouth got worse i thinned the consistency.A great backup was a pan of soup that i made with chicken carcass and vegetables and then sieved and blitzed.Failing that thin milk puddings,yoghurt,mousse and ice cream and as a final resort i bought jars of baby food.
Glad you have got so far without having to use the peg,but dont hold out once eating becomes to painful the PEGS not so bad.
