Feb 15 2024, 8.25pm Turned in the keys at the studio today. Made a little wave to the manager and some of the staff, and then I’m gone. Saying goodbye is like eating rice for me now. Well…more like eating rice with tiny fish bones embedded among the soft fluffy grains - they don’t choke you but they still prickle when you swallow.

As we journey through life, our bodies change, and so do our dietary needs. While some foods may have been harmless in our younger years, they can pose serious risks as we age. One such concern is the risk of choking, which becomes more prevalent as we grow older. Let’s explore which foods to be extra cautious with as you age.

Tips For People With Swallowing Difficulties To Stay Hydrated

Swallowing difficulties, also known as dysphagia, can make mealtimes challenging. But staying hydrated is just as important, if not more so, for those with dysphagia. Before making changes to diet or meal plans, it's crucial to consult with healthcare professionals such as a dietitian and speech therapist for personalised advice and guidance. These professionals can provide tailored recommendations based on individual needs, ensuring that soft meals are both nourishing and safe for consumption.

Working with but not being a soeech pathologist is fun. Today I forgot the word 'commercial', as in commercial kitchen. I could depend on them to get it with the clues I gave them....I just wish it didn't involve feeling like I have aphasia. I also really like soft, saucy food because I have a crooked jaw (I think). So yay dysphagic too.

How this blog looks to me ^

Not gonna lie, that’s basically what it is. 🤷‍♀️

Just for fun, here are KWYJIBO’s side effects:

as someone with more mild dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) that hasn't required thickened liquids (as of it)

Hearing the people are using thickened water to make.... fucking slime, of all things. Is so entirely disrespectful.

It's already in limited supply in places that do stock it. If you don't have a need for it, Don't grab it! Please!

your sensory needs are not worth starving someone over..

i had really hoped that sonic heroes would be an easier game to play than sa2 and in some ways it is (no! chaos emerald! hide and seek stages!!!!) but it's still very frustrating that it takes me so many tries to beat just one stage - i think i'm just used to games where they make it so it's conceivable to win a level or a combat situation the first time around if you're good enough, whereas with sa2 and heroes it feels very much like you have to fail a handful of times to see what you're actually up against and to prepare for the next time, and that's extremely offputting to me. and the homing attack is somehow Even Worse than it was in sa2, which is SAYING SOMETHING.

however tonight i realized that my gamecube controller joystick has a weird thing where it sticks to one side sometimes in a way that is hard to notice when you're locked in the game, so it's possible that i've been playing these games with a significant handicap. in which case i don't feel quite so bad for sucking so spectacularly at an easy game for babies.

a pretty recent conversation that I had with my mom that really pissed me off was my mom basically telling me "I know that you have difficulty swallowing but can't you just pretend that you don't, that you are 100% fine while visiting our family?" and it angered me so much and i'm still SO ANGRY remembering this. Idk why i'm writing this but I just don't have anyone else to tell and tumblr is my public journal.

I think the take-away from my near death experience is that I am simply unkillable

"It's that time of year again, is it?" Copperhead said quietly. He was surprised it had come around so quickly; the scent of turkey, potatoes, cranberries and more hung thick in the frigid air and would have been comforting if he'd ever spent the holiday with somebody special to him. As far as he was concerned, the day just held bad memories.

The worst part about all this medical shit I've been going through aside from how debilitating the resulting anxiety has been is I can't sing anymore. If it's not my throat being in pain because I forgot to take my medicine again it's my jaw hurting so bad I can't even talk let alone sing
