Hi Nelie! I do feel for you. Been there done that! I know, I know, everyone says be patient & I can only tell you that too. Diversion works pretty well & it sounds like you're doing that. Also, it will take alot of trial & error to figure out what to eat, especially in public. My rad ended the end of June last year & I remember going to the state fair mid September. I ate corndogs with gobs of mustard & drinks of milk to get them down! My mistake was the scone I tried to eat without first getting some milk! You got the scones from one line & the milk from another & I got ahead of myself & took a huge bite of that warm scone with butter & rasberry jam thinking I'd have time to get milk! I was wrong. There was a guy ahead of us that couldn't make up his mind & I was swallowing & swallowing to no avail! I was choking! Finally I ran over to a garbage can & had to reach in with 2 fingers & scrape that wad of dough out right there in front of hundreds of people! In reality no one probably saw what I did but at the time I felt pretty embarrassed! You just figure it out! So I do not eat biscuits anytime without lots of milk or something & even then it's almost more hassle than it's worth! You will look back in weeks & remember when things we're a little worse oh so vividly. May your time through this go quickly! Erik
