New Life Style

Since my new look I have had to make a few life style changes...

I'm on an all liquids diet... lots of pudding, Jamba Juice, yogurt... etc. I got a great gift from a vendor, a milkshake/smoothie mixer, just like the commercial ones at Johnny Rockets! Had a few smoothie parties!

I have to use straws when drinking. Everything in my mouth hurts but I guess I have to eat. The vicodin kills my appetite so im not eating much plus I spend most of the day passed out. Im a little scared to use metal silverware, as I have enough metal in my mouth and I dont wanna hit any teeth with the silverware. So I am using plastic and baby spoons. Yep, the ones with rubber covering the spoon part, but they come in pretty colors!

I sleep on my couch as much as I sleep in my bed. But being home and not really able to go out, I have a really clean apt.

Its hard to keep track of the meds I need to take, as some are 3x or 2x as the pain meds are every 4 hrs.. plus theres like 8 meds to take... (oh and I found out later that the medicated mouth wash turns my teeth yellow!) What was i thinking that the teeth I still have id want to be white!!

A side a effect of all the drugs in my system seems to effect my body temperature. One min I'm freezing, the next I'm sweating and opening a window, even if its 55 outside. Then I'm cold again and am putting on layers of clothes... This goes one all day, everyday!
