I should also mention something else regarding the choking I experience from time to time while drinking a liquid. It is somewhat like what we refer to in the South as "swallowing the wrong way". It then takes me some time to clear my throat to normal again when this happens. I suspect it is one of those rather small things I will have to get used to.
