Sheryl...I hope your recooperation goes better
the nurses really will think you r crazy if you bring Ginger in there all dressed up.
Thanks. I can tell I'm stronger, just can't talk or drink liquids yet.
Glad to see that you are up for a little more posting today. That means you must feel a little bit better. I hope you will be able to visit your son in California soon!
Thanks. I'm hanging in. My older son has said he'll do one more year in NYC and then move to LA, so could be interesting.
Well Cheryl I am very happy to hear you are not a cannibal.
Glad it comes across that way
Hope you are making progress everyday. I read further and saw your comments, glad you are to a soft diet. Those are MUCH easier to swallow than liquids. Allison just did Pediasure.... She was so over it!! She won't touch it right now! I think everyones situation is unique and offers it's own struggles...never to be compared to another!
I gagged so much on Ensure that I decided to give my throat a break, BUT since I had 11 more cans of it I tried using it to make instant vanilla pudding -- 8 oz Ensure and 8 oz milk. It came out as a thick milkshake, which was easier to swallow than just the Ensure.
Bwa ha ha ha at your sewing list for "the little one"! Glad you are able to eat some today. FX you have turned a corner and will be back to your old self in no time.

Thanks. I had macaroni and cheese for dinner. wooo hooo. I'd still love something cold to drink. I tried sucking on ice chips, but when the water melts and trickles down my throat I start to gag.
It's been a busy night...
and I have two more larger pairs of the Mickey shorts almost done as well!
They look great.
I got the coins at Walmart, so possibly cheaper than Joann's. For the BG I did I split one package between two skirts but for dd I did the entire package and made them hang longer.
I am letting her wear the outfit to school today so she can drive her teacher nuts with the jingling
Sorta like I used to get my sons fancy pencils, novelty erasers, etc. until I started substituting and saw what a major distraction they were.
Ice cream, my dear, is the key to gaining weight after oral surgery. I speak from experience. And I think soft foods are easier because they go down slower.
I tried it in the hospital but it melted too soon and became a liquid which I choked on. I
think I could now swallow it before it melted. I think my husband's going to get some Italian ice afer his meeting tonight.
That girl does get around! I cannot wait to see everything you create for Lil' Ginger!

<----- eat as much as you want, I can't have any
Here are just a few pics from the play. The Wicked Witch and Tin Man are tall 5th graders. Lion is a 4th grader -- I made his mane and did his makeup (much to his protest!). And one pic with me in it and one of Alexa wearing Daddy's cap. And this concludes the Dorothy series -- I won't bore you all with any more photos. The play went great and all the kids did super -- I don't think a single child missed any lines.
Dorothy looks spot on. The photos are great I miss the days of helping at school. Don't miss the days substituting, but do miss helping in my sons' classes.
I KNOW I grabbed your shower photos, at least once, but dis kept wanting me to log in. I love all the decorations. I assume they go home with Mom to be hung in Jrs. room? I'm curious what's in the baby food bottles -- looks like they were used as favors? Especially now that I have a fresh stock of them -- although my husband's eyeing them for screws, etc. on his peg board
Cheryl ~ I hope your feeling better.
I am. I took off my steri-strips today.
My sister was the nurse, not me. I took off four on the hour for four hours -- it took me that long to recover after each set.
<-----another one for emphasis
This is the week for surgery. I am having some minor surgery in the morning. I will probably only be out of the loop for tomorrow. But I am sure that will mean that I will have pages and pages of beautiful things to see when I get back in here.
I have now decided that no surgery is minor, so best of luck to you.
