Carrot Curry Soup

Initially I experienced difficulty chewing and swallowing, and at times dribbled when drinking. Over time I found new ways to help with eating and drinking. I adapted my diet by eating foods that melted in my mouth, such as pasta. When eating in public, I would ask for small portions so that I could eat slowly, and I often ate soup before going out, to prevent hunger.

Magali, Belgium
