Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 489 | I have not tried a poached egg yet. Since the PT is loosening up my neck and I no longer feel like someone is choking me I can swallow better. Now I hope to start trying foods again. It has been very difficult to swallow and I have been staying with liquids to avoid the pain.
I'm having two friends visit next weekend and while they are here I thought that we would try one of the no chew foods from the cook book. Once my confidence improves it will be easier for me to eat more. Right now I'm just plain scared.
Darn OC - used to be that nothing scared me.
