An someone please tell me what life is like if you never regain the ability to swallow? Will it be constant coughing and spitting up mucous?

Hello. I’m dealing with severe swallowing. I live on ensure and soups and some delicious baby food. This is the longest time not being able to swallow. I’m in swallow therapy to keep my throat from closing up.
It’s very frustrating and a big challenge. I cough a lot and spit up thick mucus during and after I eat. Hang tough. We aren’t the only ones . It totally sucks.
Good luck.
