Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 , I have been having the same problem with choking on water (and everything actually although water is the worst) due to the swelling in my neck from my thyroid cancer. I have been worried that food and liquid have been getting into my lungs and I have experienced chest congestion lately and I have been very worried about giving myself pneumonia. I have found that drinking through a straw and positioning my tongue so that the water is kind of forced toward the back of my throat helps tremendously. -- From: dorrnancy Sent: Monday, July 6, 2009 I forgot to add some information.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Thanks . Also, tucking your chin down will help as well, esp. when drinking H20. Yes, H20 is the worse. I can't even take one swallow without choking. I am blending by vegetables with H20 in my HP3Champ blender and I don't choke on this.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 , Wow, tucking in the chin really does help. Thanks for that advice. Also, my roommate who is a nurse brought me home some " thick it " which as you would imagine thickens things including water to make it easier to drink. It does work but I don't like consistency with my water so I can't say I'm very fond of it. It is a suggestion, however, and it works really well with the elderly. I know you said you had an older client with the same problem. -- ________________________________ From: Dorr <dorrnancy@...> Sent: Friday, July 10, 2009 8:31:09 PM Thanks .
