Supposedly due to radiation damage, I am aspirating everything. I've had to go to eating only the canned supplements (Osmolite) and crushing my pills so that everything goes through the PEG tube and nothing by mouth.
I have a speech therapist through the clinic who has given me exercises to do. They cause a lot of pain though and the progress is very slow.
Can anyone relate to this problem? I'm so discouraged. Thanx so much.
