I saw in another post that you survived your dental ordeal yesterday. YAY! The worst is over. Did you figure out a selection of palatable soft foods?

Jaco, a parrot in Salzburg, could not only speak but seemed to understand grammar. Whenever his person left, Jaco would say "God be with you." But when several people were departing, Jaco would change it to "God be with all of you."

Morning All,
Well back at work and still very sore. 11 were pulled - that's the end of real teeth - and 37 sutures required to close the incisions done to do away with the tortes. That was the hardest part of it. The 24-hour check up was a real gas. Told the dentist - not the one who pulled them and someone I had never saw - that the pain was quite bad but handling it OK. He looks at me and asks how long the pain had been going on. He NEVER READ MY CHART! I blew my cord and the expletives out of my mouth were not very nice. Told him it hurt since they pulled 11 teeth yesterday and filled my mouth with sutures. I think from now on he will read someone's chart before opening his mouth.
That aside I am doing quite well. Diet has been (all mashed) turnips, sweet potatoes, butternut squash and I made a wonderful Salmon souffle from scratch on Saturday - out of my head no book - and it is awesome. Kind of more like a mousse than a souffle but very good. Yogurt has been breakfast and hopefully with 2-3 weeks I will be able to operate the new choppers and eat more solid.
I want to say one thing - I REALLY HATE DENTISTS!
Love, Maggie

Thanks all. Dee, yes - the plate goes right in after the teeth are pulled and the sutures done. It is called an immediate plate and must stay in for a least 24 hours before 1st removal. So much fun but the upside of this is that I now have teeth that look oh so much better. Have never had that in my entire life.
Love, Maggie
