What was your lowest moment in 2025?

For me it was when I thought I had dysphagia and I lost the ability to swallow for 2 weeks. Really terrifying. I refused to use feeding tubes, I survived on mashed potatoes, blender shredded chicken and rice and fluids though drinking was the hardest part and taking pills was impossible. I remember the first day I legit thought I was going to die or like starve to death. I then got lucky.

Seriously even enjoying a simple meal with all the different and delicious flavors out there is a huge blessing.

I don't know what made me think of this right now. Maybe I should write a book or something.

Can you swallow better now,? That's a nerve racking experience 😕
My lowest moment was watching my dad become so fatigued the last week of December. Two weeks ago he was diagnosed with aggressive cancer. He has only a few weeks to live and I'm just in a fog. It's not right why people suffer so much. 😞 I feel helpless. And he has pneumonia too. It's been an awful start to the new year.
