Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!

I'm over here smiling for you as best I can with painful healing jaws.

You bring back " good " memories from my first go at this. I had been

wired for 10 days and had a difficult time of it (really because of

the other ailments I had with my stomach, etc., but I thought my

stomach troubles would go away if I could only eat something somewhat

solid!). When the surgeon unexpectedly unwired me at Day 10, he and

the assistants did an excellent cleaning, but then said to me, " Wanna

brush? " I was like, " God YES! " . I must have been brushing in his

exam room for 10 minutes ... I never thought I'd enjoy brushing my

teeth so much in my whole life!

Enjoy those mushies and take care this week. As true surgery

buddies, I also have an appointment next Monday for a check up, so

I'll be thinking of you and hoping things continue to go well. I'm

getting bored with mushies. This morning I thought of going to the

store to get a pumpkin pie and just scrape off the crust. That's

high-fat and filling. Something different ...
