Dee/Re: Whose photo album would represent a Lafort?

Hi !

Yes, my nurses (and husband) were on a strict schedule with my ice

around the clock. I had new ice every hour (more if I asked for it)

and maybe that made a difference. What ever worked, makes me

happy

I'm sorry to hear that you still have a cross bite. Hopefully that

will work out in time. Best of luck with it.

I haven't had one smoothie or shake. I've had ensure (I love the

vanilla), but the rest of the food is whatever everyone eats we

throw mine in a blender. It doesn't look pretty, but it taste

pretty good. I am having a problem with chocolate flavors - I

normally love and crave chocolate a lot...right now it makes me

naseous. As long as I stay away from chocolate I do fine. I have

also tried some baby foods with meat in them and they aren't that

bad. My oral surgeon gave me a recipe book called " Dinner Through a

Straw " . They have some pretty good recipes. I believe they are

can read the recipes online. If not, I'd be happy to scan it in and

email it to you - just let me know. How long are you on a

liquid/soft food diet? I have a minimum of six weeks that I'm

forbideen to chew and maybe eight - it depends on how the healing

goes.

I need to get up and get some work done. So glad that I work from

home. I certainly couldn't be venturing off to an office yet. I

only took Monday and Tuesday off last week and returned to work on

Wednesday. I only work part time and do it on my own time, so that

helps. This way I can work when I want and rest when I want. I

have 3 boss' and they have all been super.

Have a good one.
