The drooling has stopped!

Writer: Russ NewtonRuss Newton

At around noon today I took the rag out of my mouth for the first time in 9 days. And I have had it out for an hour and half. So five days after the procedure it appears to be working. I still over produce a little bit, but just one quick trip to my mouth with a rag and I am good for another hour without it. 50% joy is back in my life now!

I tried Pizza Pit in a blender when I broke my jaw. I don’t recommend it. Believe it not, Gerbers peach cobbler was my go to meal. Hope we can get together when you back to WI

Andre Still can't eat or talk so will be most comfortable staying home. But I do go out everyday to get a paper and pick food I think will blend down to a consistencie that will go through my tube. Russ
