I have been trying so hard not to think about what I can't eat, but when the stuff I am eating just keeps getting nastier and same old taste, it's really very hard. The food sticks to the roof of my mouth (well the splint anyway) even though I am using the mouthwash.
I always have a pool of spit in my mouth and really do sound like a suction machine at the doctors office, well those that watched videos got hear that. It's just gross.
I don't think I can eat anything else sweet or chocolate. Sadly I don't see many options in my future.
I also have been talking a lot more and am getting easier to be understood, but now my tongue is rubbing against the backside ridge of the splint on the left side and rubbing raw.
Most of my congestion is gone by now, every once in a while I still get some good stuff out.
My lips hurt, no matter how much vaseline I keep on them. When I talk I can feel them cracking.
Just praying for some healing and calmness.
I also made the mistake of watching the family enjoy another meal from a friend. They were thoroughly enjoying it too. I just had to leave, I was so hungry. It hasn't bothered me up until now.
