@kjc48
Good morning and thanks so much Karla. 🌹
We are attending weekly speech and language pathology appointments and getting the professional assistance we need from the therapist, as well as vital info from the internet and the IDDSI website (for dysphagia).
I lay in bed thinking of ways to make this easier, and I did buy some extra, small storage containers so I can freeze things like mashed potatoes and gravy for a quick thaw and heat and eat.
Anyway, we are always needing to stay one step ahead of this lousy game. I will call in some troops if need be, and I do take him to respite care once or twice a month as needed. He exercises there, gets some socialization and is amenable to attending; yippie and that's a win in my book.
Thanks again for staying in touch and your kind words. 🤗

@judimahoney If anyone knows how to do this - and deal with the continuing changes of this disease - you do. Please take care of you, too! Best, Karla
