My tongue is slowly getting better, applesauce and runny-mush ("grits") are no problem now, and I nibbled a few inches of soft ripened banana.
Oatmeal is still too difficult, so I didn't even attempt making egg salad. I'm getting so tired of Greek yogurt already. But I'm proud of myself for throwing away unopened a pint of Haagen Dazs ice cream (but have kept the individual size ones I bought). Don't know how to eat any vegetables other than pureed baby food but 'pears and peas' was yucky, 'apples and broccolli' was barely better, no wonder babies spit this stuff out.
I woke up several times last night with bad leg cramps, so I had some Cream of Chicken soup today and added a bunch of salt.
I'm used to eating being fun so this liquidy soft food experience is challenging, though I think the real problem is I'm constantly low-grade-nauseous, not sure why, maybe the tongue is weeping drainage fluid. Bizarre to not even want to eat ice cream.
Yesterday's protest was disappointing because I was with a disability-friendly outing and so we were bused to an alternate protest site (not the main downtown mall) and walked a couple blocks, stood and listened to speeches, then walked back and were bused home. OTOH, I was still in the 'no exercise' post-procedure time period, so it was conveniently appropriate.
