It's now dawned on me how much we revolve our lives around food! Food shows, breakfast, lunch, dinner and eating out! Brad and I would eat out at least three times a week and I love to cook and try new things whenever I could. It's been 17 days since I've had solid food and I a lot more to come with out it. Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE FOOD!! All kinds of food I do not discriminate. I'm currently obsessed with the idea of eating a cheeseburger and onion rings. It started with my reading a magazine I think my mom had brought with her (shame on you mom...just kidding :) about Texas and the top 20 burger joints. Let me tell you I read every single page drooling more than usual. So what does this tell me, I now can confirm I have a food addiction and I think this liquid diet may do me some good in the end. It will be my own personal 12 step program. I know I will always love food but I hope that this, shall we say uber cleanse, will give me a new respect and appreciation for what I choose to put in my body once I'm able to eat normally again.
Ok now that that's off my chest a little jaw news. My swelling in my cheeks had gone down yesterday but for some strange reason at night I puffed up quite a bit. By morning it had gone down some but still isn't back to wear it was. Not sure if this is a healing pattern or what but I do not appreciate the tease!! I continue to drink from a big girl glass still utilizing the sink for safe measure and it's been quite successful! My biggest challenge is talking. I still can't seem to get out any words that make sense unless I move my lips out of the way. So I really need to work on this because my job is talking and if I can't be understood that means no job for me! I imagine once my splint comes out that will help tremendously (another 3 weeks).
Brad and I may be headed to Boston this weekend for the Bruins Stanley Cup parade. I was dead set against it because I can't think of anything more miserable than a four hour car ride with no talking, eating or drinking with out spilling all over myself. But I know it means a lot to him so I will zip my lips...hahahaha....and go with the flow because it's the least I can do for him as he's been such a great help and support to me these last couple weeks. So stay tuned I may have some interesting weekend stories. Happy Friday everyone!!!
