Coffee Toast Friday

Today’s coffee toast Friday celebrates a patient’s remarkable journey as she nears graduation from therapy next week. Despite initial dismissals from medical professionals, she persevered in advocating for herself, driven by her conviction that something was amiss. Through intensive therapy and unwavering dedication to her home exercise program, she has triumphed over the problem of food and medications getting stuck in her throat.

I vividly recall her breakthrough moment when she savored a meal without obstruction, and her relief was palpable. Her resilience and determination are a testament to the human spirit, and it has been an absolute pleasure to witness her growth. Let us raise our cups in tribute to her inspiring story and reaffirm the importance of being heard when we voice our concerns. May we all find the courage to advocate for ourselves until someone listens. Happy Friday!
