Had another choking and gagging episode at 2:00am this morning. I had to go downstairs and gargle and use the tube for water intake. It took a while for the coughing to stop.
The left side of my throat where the cancer is has started to give a picking sensation that makes me want to cough. It's like a cough tickle. Coughing hurts my throat alot and then I start gagging and want to throw up. It's very scary.
Then this afternoon while relaxing on the sofa and watching a movie it started again. This time I had a hard time getting it under control. I tried everything. I drank sips of water, I gargled, took in some protein and water in tube, took some pain meds - but it continued for a good while. I don't know what triggers this.
I'm still struggling with hunger. The protein drinks seem to be less effective and not satisfying my hunger. If I increase the amount then I feel too full and like I will throw up. I take in about 4 ounces of the protein drinks every 3 hours.
Walked the dogs a couple of times today. The weather is so nice so we spent time out on the front patio.
Today I ingested 818 calories, 47 grams of protein, and 16 ounces of water.
