Hi, Yes I had 3 months 3x a week with a speech therapist, but I did not improve. She used an electric therapy called Vital Stem but I just could not swallow on command, its like there is no signal getting to my throat to swallow. Today has been a hard day for me, some days are better than other, I'm talking emotionally. The Holiday Family get togethers were So hard.
Plus my step son got married and had a Beautiful sit down dinner, I had to get up and take a walk to the ladies room just to get out of the way of the food and making people feel uncomfotable about eating in front of me.
Saturday is my neices birthday party and I usually love going to my family partys but its just very hard, but if I don't go I feel depressed that I'm not able to have special times with my husband and family.
I am a little afraid what the MRI Will find and or Not find, I'm very confused. I guess I need to stop giving it so much attension since theres nothing I could do about it right now.
