Bob, I was amazed when I read your info. That is True Grit! That is wonderful that you weren't in severe pain. I am a coffee drinker so I let my coffee cool off before I drink it and I have been able to drink a little but to swallow jello or ice cream, it's like it gets to a place in my throat and just stops and I have to drink liquid to wash the jello or ice cream so it will go on down. I may be trying to do more than I need to to fast. I am going to stop anything that gets stuck in my throat for now after reading your schedule. I appreciate all of ya'lls information as it does help. Angel
