[quote=margaret_in_ma]I am being good about doing my swallowing exercises though and I thank this forum for telling me how important that is.[/quote]

Don't forget to also do the mouth opening exercises and plenty of neck rolling in all directions to keep that stuf from getting too fibrous -- A PT taught me that you can turn your neck as far to one side as possible whilst looking more or less straight ahead, but then look to that side and you get a few more degrees.

Post-radiation, it snuck up on me that I was having trouble getting into car seats unless I tilted my head exactly right because it wouldn't fold back.
