Not that much has happened in the last two weeks. And that’s just the problem. Being able to talk again, getting out of bed, and returning to my family, were great steps forward, but since then there is no progress. I can still only drink soup.  I’ve had soup three times a day for two months now.  Feeling adventurous I tried a small piece of chocolate yesterday and I nearly choked.  I can’t drink juice or milk since it burns my throat.

The doctors said it would take three weeks before I felt OK, but it’s been four weeks now and I don’t think I’ll be alright in another week or two.

The problem is this: before long they are going to make me take new tests: MRIs, blood samples and lung scans.  I need to feel strong, and normal, before that day comes, before they start worrying me again.
