I have started a long list of dental procedures and will surely be glad when that is completed.
Mrs W, hang in there, the feeding tube business does get better, well at least you get more used to it. I am sorry Mr W and you are having to deal with the trismus as well. Do keep up the exercises and swallowing. Give each other a hug, you both are going through a lot. Please take time to take care of yourself, it is so important for both of you.
