I recently read an article about Montel Williams. I don’t even remember why I started reading it because I don’t like reading information about MS on the Internet Because it is so depressing!
It was a short article and the one thing I remember reading is that Montel Williams drinks 90% of his food. It talked about protein shakes, vitamins and supplements. The article actually made me feel a little bit better. You see, I drink 67% of my food. I have a protein shake for breakfast and 14 shake for lunch. Dinner has begun to get a little more tricky. I’m having difficulty chewing and swallowing food.
I have a swallow study appointment with the speech pathologist. I don’t know what this test really entails but I’ve asked my MS groups and it’s Swallowing things with different Consistencies and I understand that there is barium in whatever I am swallowing. Barium is visible and an x-ray.
This test is taking place on Thursday which I think is going to be a good thing because Thursday is my FAVORITE day of the week! I don’t know if that will have any bearing but I do know that chewing and swallowing has become quite difficult for me now. So, I’m nervous. But, Montel was diagnosed just before me and he is at 90%. I still have some ways to go but this is looking like this will be the the place I am headed.
