You know, I'm not looking over my shoulder anymore. If it comes back, it comes back. I've even stopped going to my ENT since I don't have any insurance (of course I can't afford it now) and I sure can't afford the tests they want to run. The speech impediment, loss of taste, limitation to soft,soupy foods, the dry mouth, blah blah blah is something I'll have to live with the rest of my life. I'm a single person so there's no children in my picture and my partner finally had enough of my drinking and moved out. I will forever be gratefull that she stayed with me throughout my ordeal. I'm hoping one day I'll wake up and say, "gee, what a great day".
