True to my word from yesterday's post, I've decided to try eating something every day just to get the old chew-and-swallow thing working again and to see if I can't stimulate my taste buds.
This morning I ate a scrambled egg and at lunch today I had some applesauce.
Quite an athlete, I'd say!!
Neither the egg nor the sauce went down that well. Don't get me wrong, I got them both down, but it was work. I've seen Tim eat in seconds -- and only a few -- what I ate in minutes but who cares at this point. I ATE!!
So what if neither really tasted that good. So what if I had to wash both down with a lot of water in order to get them down. So what if I got choked a bit during both efforts. It's progress.
Now I'm on for my CT Scan and Swallow Study tomorrow morning. I'm sure today's crash-studying effort will pay dividends in tomorrow's Swallow Test. Yes, I know, they call it a Swallow "study", but I know a test when I see it. And even with today's swallowing historics I'm not sure I'm going to pass tomorrow. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm NOT going to pass. Although I'm not sure what passing would accomplish.
Oh well, the important thing for the day is I've been reintroduced to food and, while the relationship is a bit strained because of extended separation, I'm confident we'll be able to mend our fences and once again have a mutually enjoyable relationship.
Might take a while, though.
