I went out to brunch with a good friend today. It was really the first time I've been out for a meal in public since the surgery. I managed to eat about half of an omelette with a fork! Did I mention the omelette was stuffed with crab and shrimp? The crab was really easy to eat, but the shrimp (even cut up in 10 month old size bites) was tough and exhausting. I did it though! I ate in public with a normal utensil without dropping food all over myself! I think I'll still stick to soups in public for awhile yet, but its nice to know I'm getting there.
I am still practicing chewing with Cheerios, which are still difficult to eat unless they are softened. But soggy cereal is another welcome addition to my diet. I am starting to get really,
really desperate for variety, but I'm still limited by vertical mouth opening and pain tolerance... But I know that pizza is only a few weeks away!
