Swallowing

I'm really glad that my MRI did not show any tumor regrowth because I'm increasingly having issues with swallowing. Not like before when I needed to carry a water bottle to help the food go down. This is different... I'm choking often on my own spit. Stinks! I know my facial nerve that has to do with swallowing was intruded by the tumor, but I wasn't expecting to have issues this far out from surgery.

Just wanted to jot it down while I was thinking about it so I have record of it for later. Happens once or twice a day right now... usually just my spit, sometimes i choke on a drink.

The Great Inflatable Race

Shrewsberry YMCA

Saturday August 12, 2017

10:30 am heat

The boys first run, ever!

Post-run bubble party.

The kids had a blast, especially the boys. It was only 1 mile long so we did it twice. Jimmy didn't need help on any of the inflatables! The boys and Jenni enjoyed the bubble party for 40 minutes before we even ran. Our heat was at 10:30 and we went again at 11:00. There were 8 inflatables and 2 bubble stations. It was hard to breathe at the bubbles because they were taller than me! And, they smelled bad.

I'm gonna be sore tomorrow!!! Jimmy and I walked the course the 2nd time. He kept telling me how much he loved it. He and I raced each other through each obstacle.

I didn't have my camera during the actual race.
