Apr 2018

Breakfast was fried potatoes with rosemary, an egg, and 10oz of full fat buttermilk. Lunch was Avocado toast, then after the waves of ecstasy brought on by some of the creamiest avocados I tube fed some 2Cal hn.

I just found that I can't handle white rice, but can tolerate brown rice. Some meat and soft cheeses work for me. Sour cream has replaced cheddar on Mexican style dishes. Lacto-Ovo seems to be the way for me because I can't handle meat other than some pork and dark meat from Chicken.

Tuesday I will have a barium swallow to see how I have progressed. I haven't been doing my tongue exercises as much as I should.
