It's amazing how horrible my teeth have gotten. Luckily it's only the back teeth (knock on wood!) and so I'm just on a "repeat" schedule of getting them filled every few months. By the time we finish the fourth quadrant, it's time to start on the first one again. Really frustrating. I floss and brush and gargle constantly. Sometimes it doesn't seem worth all the extra effort, but I know that's silly. I saw __'s horrible HORRIBLE dental work on the front teeth recently and am determined never to have to have anything like that showing when I smile.
Despite the pain, this is the best time--the longest possible time 'til my next appointment. Yay!
Aside from that, the last few days have been pretty good. LB's bday party (ate white rice and a small piece of cake), hanging out with the boys, and actually had a good fun night with my family. Mom's actually getting really good at predicting what I can and can't eat, and I appreciate it tremendously. It's taken YEARS but better late than never. She keeps extra things on hand, puts a potato in the oven for me just in case or a cup or two of rice on the stove. I always have something I can eat if I can't eat whatever she's made for the main. Speaking of which, I actually ate a tiny piece of steak the other night. It was so so fucking good. It hit my stomach like a ton of bricks though so I knew better than to keep eating it. Oh well!
Dinners have remained the same as usual. Starches with some over-cooked veggies.
That right there is some rice cooked in broth with a sprinkling of fake parmesan, blanched and roasted fresh green beans, and my favorite beautiful baby Yukon Golds, roasted and smashed. I could eat those things every single night (that I'm able to eat) and be a happy camper. As good as french fries. Crispy warm potato goodness.
Going to go try and eat something so I can take a few Advil (which I never do). My mouth is seriously... not okay.
