Accidently pulled out my g-tube (feeding tube in stomach) last night. Looks like Ill be going to the VA when it opens tomorrow morning. Ill be scheduling my final scan too. Still having a lot of trouble with solid food The scarring from the radiation has kind of messed up my swallowing. Got a pain level of 6 going on most of the time. Sometimes I have trouble speaking due to lack of saliva and pain (the radiation burned out my salivary glands on the right side) Sense of taste is still screwed up severely. Hopefully with time some of these symptoms will reduce. While Im at the VA tomorrow Ill be checking into options for rehab. Physical rehab for the limited mobility in my neck and swallowing. They have suggested speech rehab too. PLLW
