Apples & Family

Its been over a year with my "new" teeth and life is pretty good. While I miss the easy diet its nice to eat a sandwich and bite into pizza. I still can't bite into things that I can't cute with a plastic knife. The biggest impact is apples.  Lucky I have a great brother and boyfriend TomCepa who will break pieces of an apple off for me!

Yummy!

Thanks guys! You the best!

Thanksgiving Dinner

This wasnt gonna be an easy meal. I can deal with my new diet when its the only options I have but that dinner was gonna be hard. Watching others eat all the good fixins. My family goes all out, we have 2-3 versions of each dish, plus the turkey and duck (also different flavors).

Smelling it and watching everyone eat that was really hard! But at least there are lots of mushy foods - sweat potatoes, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberries & succotash. Plus my cuz helped me, he ate the hard crispy parts I couldnt eat, we made a good team!

This may have been the first thanksgiving that not only have I not gained weight but I lost!

Next year I'll have to have double turkey & duck to make up for the year before!

Air Travel

I'm headed to SFO, my first public outing, besides going to doc apt and a long ass trip to buy supplies for smoothies.

I'm all packed up and doing my check list.. I used to debate wearing my contacts or glasses bc I knew id sleep on plane but I hate my glasses. Well now I have a new decision to make - fake teeth or no teeth.

I dont wanna scare anyone but the "photo teeth" are not very comfortable. Plus I'll take have to take them out when i sleep on plane.

I was nervous about the whole being in public and I was still on the pain meds.. My head was on cloud nine, and fucking with my stomach. So I started to get car sick after 5 mins, and paranoid about my mouth.

Then there was my bag of drugs, including the huge bottle of medicated mouth wash at the security..
They looked at the 1 gallon bag and then looked at me.. that was good enough to get through with out an interrogation.

I had a few tempature issues on the plane, but was able to sleep though most of it.
