Is the cantaloupe grown there? Wishing said she never had one bigger or better then she had here. I miss her so much..

We had cucumber last night, basically a raw veggie plate. Tonight we had egg salad, corn on the cob baked in he ubben, and fried zucchini. That last was Melissa's idea. It wasn't breaded, just sliced the long way after cutting it in thirds, then fried in a little oil and butter till brown. Then sprinkled with salt and parmesan, it was quite tasty.

I don't dice cooked egg with a knife any more, I saw them do this on a cooking show, just push it through one of these:

It's a rack I use to cool baked goods and drain french fries, etc.

My peeps, what are you supposed to do when someone is choking on fluid? I guess is it goes down the lungs. I do it often and Tom just did.. Its was a scary,bad one too and all I did was sit here and watch.
Google wont tell me. I guess they don't know either. lol

My Scott did this. We would stand by him and watch him as he recovered. Thank goodness he always did. Scary as heck. We were considering starting the thickening fluid for him in his drinks.
Here's a site on it.

I have more trouble swallowing in the last year too. And biting my tongue. Sometimes I can't swallow when I want to (dry mouth?) and sometimes when I swallow it seems to go the wrong way.

I'm having the same problem big time. I have the large potassium (horse pills) to take every morning. I can't take the whole pull anymore. I bite little pieces of until I get it down. Yes, water helps me get some things down easier..crackers.

I hate those bloody potassium pills. But I hate getting K in an IV worse. So now I'm taking D3 and K2 .... in a lovely daily GUMMY!
