Problem swallowing since surgery....
Thu, 06-14-2007 - 3:44pm

I had my right side removed on May 30th and I am still having problems swallowing. I think it's getting better, but I still cannot drink a glass of water without taking one sip then swallowing, then taking another sip, etc....does this make sense? I really notice it when I am so thirsty and would love to just take a long drink of water but I can't without taking small sips, kwim? Is this normal; does it eventually go away?!

Thanks, Jill
