So today around 3 pm, I decided to try drinking a cup of coffee... Luke warm and with a straw. I was doing well. Each sip took about 3 swallows to get it down. Each sip was gloriously delicious despite the work. I've drank about a quarter cup when it goes down the wrong pipe and I spit coffee all over our kitchen. After cleaning it up, I poured the rest of the coffee down my feeding tube! Thankfully I had already put dinner the in the oven! I'm proud of my little effort and a little discouraged at the same time. Learning to eat and talk again will be a work in progress!!! Because I'm so lucky, in the mean time the radiation rash has crawled up to my jaw line and is creeping onto my face. It also itches and I can't scratch it. Neither Benadryl nor claratin nor zyrtec is working so I'm going crazy 😨 ... I know short drive. I sent pictures to my doc in dermatology oncology who said it looks great all things considered. Continue slathering it with vaseline and stay out of the sun... slow and steady wins the race but right now I'm tired of jumping hurdles!!! 💖😚💖😚💖
