Jobeeg, hello to you and you moma. first of all I want to say how proud I am of you for taking sucha interest in all this for her. My kids have walked away from me. It has all but broken my heart. I wanted to tell you that I too cannot eat. It may be a lot of fear on my side, I am so afraid that I am going to choke. I have done it so many times and it is so so scary when it happens. I had my surgery in Feb 04 and I am still on the feeding tube. Tho I would love to have it out, I must not want it bad enough beczuse I am not trying to eat like I should be. I am in speech and physical theraphy right now. My speech therapist is trying with all her might to get me going, yet she understands my fears with it at the same time. I can swallow with difficulty. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers,,, I will get there just not today. Always Miss Vicki
