I made a mistake, where I pressed two, I should have been pressing 4 because I was very much satisfied in the nurse and the doctor. They were all good to me and they explained everything to me. Thank you very much for calling.

I'm somewhat confused about my swallowing problems.I believe that I was told to do swallowing therapy with a speech therapist? And pulmonary therapy to be able to breathe better in case I have to have a feeding tube, so that I can be sedated if the time comes or when the time comes?
