The ability to swallow normally is something I have certainly taken for granted. My surgery was 2 days ago and swallowing even sips of water is a challenge. The combo of pain and a change in anatomy makes it very difficult to do smoothly. The good news is that I can breathe better... which is nice.
Tried to eat some mashed potatoes last night, which was a real big challenge.
Other than that, I look forward to my first kilt-wearing episode. 2 weeks and counting...
jim, i'm sorry. if i was there, i would make you soup, coffee (and drink mine with lightning quickness tho that might seem like a slap in the face, huh), smoothies. hell, i would even throw BBQ'd chicken in the blender. a meat shake. that's what a cuz does for another. right? hang tough. keep your focus on the prize--you get to wear a skirt very soon!
