Yeah, talking is a real pain.

I think I will try some tea.

The coughing comes after trying to drink, when my mouth is dry, when I slouch, and when I sit up. The worst time for a cough is when I open my peg for feeding. What a mess.

It hurts. I tried applesauce and a weak gravy, quite painful. alfredo Jun 2016 #3

Whatever was handy - Twinings, etc. Usually Irish breakfast or Darjeeling. Solly Mack Jun 2016 #7

I had some decaf green tea. I was able to have several good sips. I could taste it all through. alfredo Jun 2016 #8
