Re: quick post op question...

A while.

Okay. I'm ducking, and you can hit me now.

I didn't try broccoli (raw, one of my faves) for a year after I ditched

the braces -- but I'm a coward. I had lower only, too, which I suppose

makes it even worse.

I'm a coward, remember? And I'm ducking....

But I hope your good fresh apple (I recommend a Gala) comes way sooner.

Meantime, how 'bout some nice applesauce? You can have cinnamon red

hots melted into it...

(I'm ducking again... I still don't want a broken jaw, and I'm three

years post op.)

becky, ur hilarious! when I was at JFK waiting to board my flight this

woman pulled out a nice juicy granny smith apple and i watched her

longingly as he bit into it with her OWN TEETH. And I asked myself, " I

wonder when I'll be able to do that again? " I haven't bit into an apple

thanks to my jaw pain in at least 3 years.
