The Old Prune Picker passed out in the kitchen this morning!

As I have said the prunepicker blog is about me. Passing out this morning in the kitchen is sure about me. I had a head cold and severe coughing during the night and got out of bed at 3 am. Around 6 am I got a little nauseated and decided to have a piece of string cheese and soda crackers .Often when I am eating I have food hang up in my esophagus and I feel like I am going to pass out. Ten years ago I did pass out. I have had my esophagus stretched three times since then but it does not seem to help. The last months my swallowing problem seems to be getting worse.

This morning I was hanging on to the sink (on the right in the picture) when I woke up laying on the floor with my head on the step into the hall. I said to myself "Chuck, what are you doing laying on the floor? " It is odd to wake up and see your feet at the same level as your head. I think in the future when I feel like I did this am I should sit down. I sure do not want to swallow while I am driving a car!

I am still having trouble. I plan to go go see my doctor next week. I may have to cut back on solid foods. Hello blender.
