I would like you to try to avoid using your fingers, if possible, because sometimes we can push the food in, however, I had to use my fingers like pincers, sometimes.

I also would ask that you report the tongue incident to your neurologist.

I would suggest to any person who is experiencing this, book an appointment with a dietitian, or dietician <<American spelling... They
can advise you about a "soft food diet."

Note to Canadians: In some provinces, your neurologist can refer you to a hospital dietitian for one visit, which is covered provincially.
Thanks! I will definitely report it. I have to go back in about 3 weeks anyway.

I hope I don't have to go to soft food but I can't handle too many days like today.

thanks again!
