How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2026....

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.
 
I went to a mosque meeting with my son today. Usually, the mosque he attends is about a 20 to 30 minute drive., but today they held their meeting in a newly renovated space in our town. I always enjoy the young minister in training's message. He's a powerful speaker who drops the history on us. As we left, each of us was given a smal container of bean soup and a piece of bread. I heated mine as soon as I changed into my house clothes. After I ate that, I was knocked out (didn't even take the bowl to the kitchen). I slept straight through for about 6 hours and that hardly ever happens, but since I didn't sleep soundly last night and sleep was intermittent.

@HoneyNut Apparently I missed some things and need to read through the last few pages of this thread anyway, so I'll see what happened with your tongue. In the meantime...why did you throw away an unopened container of Haagen Dazs?!
@Pepper I thought you were sprung!
@Jules Well at least you got to hear some good music! At some point, the broadcast will be available to listen to. I'll update you via PM when it is.
