Sara--YIPEEEEEEEE__whaoooooooo--YES!! Wasn't it a treat. I am so

thrilled that my suggestion with the fork worked for you!! Why does

everyone want us to use a spoon. It is curved and very difficult to get

inside your motuh at this point.....now you can get crative!! I had

yummy garlic and turnip mashed potatoes with steamed (and minshed )

broccoli and minched salmon for supper. It was divine. My husband

reminded me that I still have soup in the cupboard but I told him he

could have it!! You would laugh at me~I eat with a mirrow in hand. IF

not, my kids walk by and hand me wet facelcloths HINT HINT!! haahh So

the restaurant experience is still a ways off....bty--am I glad the

docs here do not use splints..they sound aweful & I am doing great

without one..I can open my jaw about 1/2-3/4 " now.....still a freaked

out over the right side of my mouth being so 'dead'.....anyway--i was

so happy for youwhen I read your post--HUGS!!

wow. . sara, your posts are the only ones i read when i get the massive list

of new messages in my mailbox. they're just too entertaining to pass up.

congrats on the semi-solid food. i've been wired shut for 5! weeks now and

next monday i'm hoping that the surgeon will look at my x-rays and tell me

that my bones have solidified enough to unwire me. it's so odd that you

only had your surgery a couple weeks ago and your jaws for so mobile, and

here i am 5 week after the fact and i'm actually beginning to see the

benefits of a liquid diet. .. sooo quick, sooo easy, and 3 dish items to

clean compared to the millions involved in a hardcore cooking session. keep

up the posts! take care

pieces of cooked ham and gruyere<br> & gt;cheese melted into them today for

lunch. Whoopeee!!! I used a fork<br> & gt;instead of a spoon just as Sher

recommended and it worked a treat. I<br> & gt;didn't choke and I was able to

stuff myself silly. Ok, I still got a<br> & gt;lot of the mash all over my

lips and face but still, I was quite<br> & gt;chuffed that I was eating

something that did not fall under the 'soup'<br> & gt;category. Now on to the
