    Hi Denny

    I am with you; I need to go get another X-ray tomorrow so the doc can see how the lungs are doing. I am doing the DPNS Deep Pharyngeal Neuromuscular Stimulation and it is working some to get my swallowing back. I have 9 treatments down and 17 more to go before they test me again to see if anything is still going into the lungs. All it is, is just a big Tens Unit to Stimulate the muscle under the tongue to help them pull and swallow.

    I will let you know how I do after the last treatment.

    Take care

    How frustrating this must be! Five times in a year and a half is insane. Hope you're feeling better now, and docs can come up with a game plan to keep the pneumonia away.
