The big question of today was whether the "procedure" would make a difference. I did wake up once in the night coughing a bit but in fact had a good night's rest not waking up until after 830.
As far as eating is concerned, I tried a piece of tosat this morning. It was fine. I had quite a big Lunch(well by my standards anyway) and some cream of celery soup for tea. The big difference that I noticed was when I had water with what I was eating. Up until today, when I felt food sticking in the gullet all that happened when I tried some water was that it sat on top of the stuck food. Today on two or three occasions when I felt food sticking the water actually helped to digest what I had been eating. However I do have to remember that my stomach is now smaller and whether anything sticks or not I need to eat relatively small portions but more regularly. The only other problem I still have is constipation but I remain confident that will be okay. The words I would use are cautious optimism.
I did my Hospital Radio Show today. That gave me a chance to play my favourite for the festive season A Christmas Song by Shawn Phillips.
Outside it is certainly getting colder though this evening here in the deep South we got rain rather than snow some parts of the Country experienced.
