Thank you, everyone, for responding to my question about mouth pain. We're going to get a referral for a speech eval (for chewing and swallowing), and Jamie is trying to chew is food more carefully. He is now on a soft diet, but the pain is still continuing. The saddest part of this tale is that Jamie is a gourmet cook who *loves* good food. Geez. It's always something. ----- God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 59/19)
