BROTHER EATING

My brother has finally eaten his second meal.  It was pancake and syrup.  He said it felt weird.  I know what he means.  If he keeps this up he'll have that PEG tube out soon.

He has an appointment with the Physical Therapy office to have lymphatic massage on his face and neck.  I asked him not to go as it is not safe during this pandemic.  He's having second thoughts.

BROTHER'S DENTURES

My brother finally got his dentures and they look great.  He has gone so long without teeth since they all had to be pulled prior to his chemo and radiation treatments.  Yesterday he sent me a photo of him smiling showing his new pearly whites.  It was great.

He said he was afraid to eat cause he didn't know what he could swallow.  I explained to him that he should start slow with small bites of something wet and slippery like pancakes with syrup or scrambled eggs with butter.

Then last night he texted me that he had eaten grits and eggs.  I was so happy to hear that.
