I'm really glad to hear that your recovery is going well. Take er easy when you get back to work, and make sure to soothe those muscle spasms as best as you can, because they can be monsters when they get out of control.

About the swallowing...just remember to chew everything really well and follow each bite with a small sip of water, just to clear any irritation from the food passing through. Ice cream, yogurt and other types of cold foods are handy for soothing the irritation after a meal, or just in general. Hopefully its just from the intubation process and the tissues will heal quickly.

Good luck on your return to work. Keep us updated on your progress.
