More Fluid

And, although I am shopping for the week tomorrow, me & Gareth had to nip to Morrisons to buy a load of mineral water for me to keep drinking

SLT

And Sarah the SLT came to see me today and did loadsa stuff about me swallowing. She did say that swallowing food my head needs to be bent forward as I have been doing, but we tried it with drinks but I couldn't manage it with swallowing liquid but in the end we decided between us, drink normally max of 2 mouthfuls then look at my plate, head forward to swallow it.
It feels very strange but my swallowing is evidently much better so I need to practise this so it becomes as habitual as eating with my head forward
But it pisses me off big style, I had my accident 10+ years ago and only now am I so well that issues like swallowing matter/can be noticed.
9½ years ago I was too ill for them even to notice issues like this
