when(IF) I get put in a nursing home .. I am going to have to tell them to puree my food. Because as I am aging my ability to cough while eating is getting worse. Once a month or every three weeks.

It seems like it is the fruits that are causing most of troubles .. but ever so often it's crackers or cookies.

   The inability to swallow is the scariest thing imaginable. I know. Oh... how I know.

   Take care of yourself, dear one.

   Hi cait~
   i am a speech-language pathologist and specialize in swallowing disorders

   ask for a swallow study (modified barium swallow) and a referral to a speech-language pathologist...based on the results of the swallow study a treatment plan can be developed and things can be done to help or strategies put in place to improve swallow function...
   and maybe waiting until September isn't a good idea as aspiration of food can lead to pneumonia...feel free to reach out if you have questions...
   it can be miserable having those kinds of problems when you're eating....
