I relate to everything you say in your comment. How are you doing with weight? It is my biggest challenge even with high calorie boost every day 3x a day. I know a feeding tube makes medical sense but quality of life is a huge issue.

hi steve55
With the start of my speech and swallowing issues, I lost approx 6 lbs in the 6 mths when we had to go back to office 3 days/wk. But in the last few years now that I have been accommodated to work from home - I am back to my norm weight.
Believe it's that I can eat whatever I want at home - and if I am not able to swallow or if the food gets stuck in my throat - I just cough it out in the comfort of my home- without being embarrassed.
But then again - there are certain types of food that I am not able to eat despite water and all.
As said - will take one day at a time - and take it from there!
Have a good wkend!!
