As you may already be aware, I've recently had jaw surgery. This procedure was quite major and two weeks later I have not yet recovered. Even though I'm doing a lot better, I still get tired quite easily. For example, two days ago I decided to see a movie and shop a little bit with a friend. I had a great time, but even though the visit was pretty short, I was exhausted and still haven't been quite right since then. Thats okay though... the only things that I've had to do are try to rush through entire seasons of tv shows before the library expected them to be returned. My main complaint is the current food situation. I've been on a liquid diet for the last 2 weeks and I'm getting sick of smoothies and cream of chicken soup. Only within the last couple days have I been able to eat small amounts of things like scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes. These soft foods have been a wonderful improvement, but it takes an incredible amount of time and effort to consume them and they still really aren't that satisfying. Now, I know that the diet isn't your fault... Its just the unfortunate consequence of jaw surgery. However, during this period of time while I recover..... Is it really necessary that you enjoy all of my favorite meals? Just tonight you had a steak dinner. We almost never have steak dinners! Are you trying to make this more difficult for me? From this point forward, I am requesting that the entire family eat only smoothies, soup, applesauce, scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes. I believe that in order to be more close as a family, we should not isolate any one person and that's exactly what's been going on here with the meals. I may be forced to take drastic measures if I see anymore of my favorite meals on the table over the next few weeks. Thank you.

Ha ha. Couldn't eat the good stew my family served last night. I know eventually I will. The hardest part aside the teeth tingling and diet is not being able to sleep for more than a few hours at a time.
