Hi Mark, I was going to suggest juicing. It works great. I did it in the machine that makes the juice totally liquid. I had my little recipe that I will share. It has been seven years and I stoped juicing about two years ago, when my machine went kaput and I kind of forgot about it. Everything I put in there was organic, so it is a little expensive, but I am worth it. One apple, one lemon, three stacks celery, seven kale leafs, half a cucumber, a piece of curcuma root and a piece of ginger. I think it will help with the mucus too. I never saved it in the fridge. Right from the juicer, and like medicine, down my throat. I also suggest avocado. It is soft and very rich in many good things. Cuddled eggs also. I used to have a very large syringe with a tube and I would put the food in the back of my throat so I could pass it easer. I am remembering things I had forgotten. It was a tough time, but here I am, happy as a clam. My best to you, Loli

Mark, we all ate ice cream, popcycles, ice, pudding, baked custard, etc. You're normal. I just wanted to SEE someone who had been through it. Where do you live? Happy to meet you for ice cream when you are in JAX. I always wear a mask, however...ha
Take care. You are over the worst.
