soft food update

thanks for the suggestions! my outlook is more positive now.

after a day of feeling like I was starving approximately every hour and a half, I went to Wal Mart and picked up the following:

creamed corn
nutra grain bars (should be soft enough - at least I'm hoping)
cottage cheese
snack packs
apple sauce

in addition to eggs, potatoes (mashed, which i ate tonight thanks to my amazing sister), soup, and whatever else I can find that's soft enough, these things should give me some energy/snacking options throughout the day.

And, Annie, I chew eggs, don't you worry. haha. They are just really soft and I'm eating them scrambled which makes them into small, manageable pieces. Appetizing, no?

P.S. I also got a mouth guard to sleep in. It is not comfortable and I am afraid I'm going to wake up drenched. Yuck. Hopefully this therapy will correct whatever is going on with my jaw so I don't have to do this often...or ever again.

The kids ate all the pasta for dinner, so I boiled myself some angel hair pasta and had that with some sauce and meatballs. I thought of you while eating it. I wondered if you could maybe cut up the angel hair pasta into really little pieces (almost like rice, but softer), and then toss some marinara sauce on top? I honestly think you could swallow it w/ very little chewing and who doesn't like spaghetti? Please tell me you like spaghetti...
