Hello @surfwid, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you for posting.

70 is the new 50! And you have your own chauffeur! lucky you! 🙂 sorry to hear about your side effects from your angioma and that you lost your ability to drive. That's tough. Have you met with a swallow therapist to help you with your swallowing?

Keep taking those baby steps and moving forward.

I am in swallow therapy. We started with speech therapy, but the therapist thought we needed to start first with the swallow. I'm fine swallowing food, but choke on clear, thin liquid. I have purchased nectar consistency drinks from the grocery store. You can find them (manufactured by KERNS) in the International section of the grocery store.
