Sh*t, what a morning

So we headed off first thing to Singleton Hospital in Swansea where they did "Video Flouroscopy" which involved me being got into position sitting in a scary big camera device then I would eg sip juice which was laced with Barium (which doesn't taste very nice) then they were able to take x-ray movies of my swallowing. I had 3 drinks in various patterns then some pieces of peach with a hoppible goo on them and last of all a biscuit with loadsa goo on it too
Afterwards I was speaking to the Doctor x-rayer and she said I should actually stop doing the put your head forward to have a drink but do continue to do that to eat.
This is relatively rare, most people can eat drink but not eat, but I am, typically, the opposite
