Chewing...

I think I have taken chewing for granted for all of my life. Last night I discovered how blessed I have been to be able to chew my food. The first solid food I ate last night was a Cliff Bar which are probably my favorite food bars. It usually takes just a minute or two to eat one. Last night it took me 15 minutes to eat it. I have no molars now in the bottom of mouth, so I will have to relearn how to eat until I get some implants to replace them after surgery. I'm sure it will be easier after my mouth heals up and I am not so sore from the surgery as I still have the two middle molars.

Just had some oatmeal for breakfast and that was no problem. My cousin Madeline is on her way over to hang out for awhile.

As a result of what you're going through, I highly doubt you will ever take anything for granted in your life. Everything is a gift from the Lord.

Let's not forget those Pringles the night of your neck dissection surgery!

Yup...molars are crucial, especially for all vegetable-eaters (I just taught that to my Fifth Graders last week as they studied and compared the teeth of carnivores, omnivores and herbivores)! You'll adapt and learn to use those "pre-molars."

Reminds me of a great track on your last mix: "Do you really know what it is like to have no food to eat...?" -goes for chewing, too. ;)

And I'm here to help in any way for all my friends and patients to keep as many of their teeth for as long as they can!
