Hi Minky,
I to have my drinks coming out of my nose. My speech theripist told me to tilt my head down and than swallow. It seemed to help.
Each swallow of food for me is a thought out process. Like Gary said it takes time and will get better in time.
Funny how sometimes I can drink without a problen and the next time it starts dripping out of my nose. I was at a resturant today and was joking with the waitress about it! (I asked her for a couple of extra napkins) She is also a oral cancer survivor with a reoccurance. Her name is Peggy Radtke. She doesn't own a computer or TV.
I wish she did so she could vent and share her experience with other OCF members. She is a very nice person who has battled like hell for two years now. Her and I are buddies!!!

Keep your chin up as my Grandmother used to say!!!

Dan
