I am alsso please to announce that when I saw my radiologist this morning he said I was making very good progress. My voice is starting to come back a little and he is sending me to a speech and swallowing therapist to teach me how to eat and talk again.
Hooray for the good news! Are you allowed to hum to yourself? I remember reading somewhere that humming was very good therapy for people with throat problems.
And THE SWALLOWING THERAPIST must be the title of your next short story.
I don't know yet but I have just been scheduled to meet with the therapist this Friday morning so I will find out.
I have suddenly had a great interest in cooking again - (I'm not doing any but I am thinking about it a lot) maybe making those lunches for Vixdad and the Vixter has rekindled my thoughts of food.
I did try some chicken noodle soup two days ago (I just made a Lipton Cup-a-Soup)
I am please to announce it did indeed taste like chicken soup but I was only able to manage about 3 or 4 tablespoons. It was too much hard work swallowing.
I also tried oatmeal, I only managed two spoonfuls there. My gingerale is tasting like gingerale again. I tried a sip of tea the other day but it tasted "wrong" - I probably should be staying away from caffinated pproducts anyway.
I suppose I will stop experimenting now until I meet teh therapist on Friday and see what she says. Better off being careful and not doing myself any harm
