It's been a while since I blogged here. It's been a good news month health wise.

Since increasing the gavescon dose and in particular taking some every night last thing before bed time, the incidence of acid attacks has mercifully all but disappeared.

I have also been referred to a speech therapist. She has given me all kinds of exercises to do the purpose of which is designed to improve my swallowing. She thinks the problems I have been having with my voice originated with the acid reflux. The exercises do seem to be helping to improve matters. The next step is for me to have an x ray whilst eating something and drinking no doubt a revolting liquid. The therapist will be present to observe what actually happens when I swallow. This will happen either on 20 July or in August.

Elsewhere we have just returned from 10 days at our caravan in Topcliffe North Yorkshire. The site has new owners who are making changes that are as far as we can see an improvement.

Just a short note to say I have had tooth removed. The injection numbing the mouth was very effective as I didn't feel a thing. Now the numbing has worn off it's another story.

Back to Angel Radio tomorrow to interview someone from the Salvation Army.
