Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 , I can't imagine how strange that is for you to chew again after 3 years. It must be like a baby learning to eat for the first time. Speaking about a baby, I am still using a baby spoon to eat. I just don't like the bigger spoons anymore and seem to get more down with the baby spoon. Plus all my baby spoons come in different colors..purple, blue, pink, red, etc..It is just so fun to pick out the color I want to use next..(haha) I can't wait till next week to see my coworkers reaction when I pull out my baby spoons. Anyway, when you advance to that steak let me know because I want you to take a bite for me..(haha) Talk at ya later, --Caboose > > > Hi , > > > > > > I had a combined Le Fort one and two maxillary osteotomies, as > well > > as having my nose lengthened etc. They also took a bone graft from > my > > hip, which was very sore after wards I was confined to bed for 3 > > days!
