@cheriere  I'm so glad all went well today!  Sounds like you are on track and doing everything your suppose to.  Will the stitches desolve?   Peanut Butter shakes are my favorite so have one for me😉❤️. With a swirl of chocolate syrup🥤

 

Continue taking care and I do hope PT is helping your Moms shoulder.  I know being a Mom she has been worried for you too💖

Oh, I do love ❤️ and always appreciate a delicious salad recipe!  I will copy them for later.  You have NO idea how much I wish I could eat one right now!  You'd be surprised by how tired ice cream and milkshakes become after awhile.😔

 

Thank you fo the kind, well wishes regarding my recovery.  As far as temperatures go, I'm just not supposed to have hot coffee, but warm is okay.

 

She did say I could begin to slowly incorporate soft foods into my diet now like baked fish and really tender chicken.  Of course, it still has to be to the lint that I basically don't need to chew lol.  I'm thankful nonetheless.❤️

@2sisters 

 

Thanks so much.😃❤️

I can't tell you how happy I was to hear everything looked good.  Yes, she said I might start noticing some blue looking strings when I rinse, but not to be concerned.  I thought they were gonna take them out, but it sure sounds much easier this way.

 

I just recently started liking peanut butter milkshakes lol.  Now, I want one all the time.  I've never added any chocolate to the mix before though...sounds delicious!  I have to try this out tomorrow.😃❤️

 

I really appreciate your asking about mom, thank you.❤️. She's feeling much better.

Hi @cheriere   I was trying to find your post about the surgery but my computer crashed!  I think the thread is too long for it!  But it looks like you have a lot of people who care for you and that you are kind enough to respond to each and every one of them.  That is amazing!

 

I gathered the surgery went well, and you received tons of suggestions for good things to eat.  My only add is that sometimes having a lot of liquid or dairy can do things to the stomach.  Bananas work for me!  I hope you can have them!

 

Take care and I 🙏🏼 for a speedy and complete recovery!

@NYCLatinaMe 

 

Thank you so very much for the kind words and well wishes.  It really does mean a lot to me.

You're too right about dairy, I'm quickly learning.  I think it's because I'm not used to so much morning, noon and night lol.  I've switched to coconut milk though and now trying to stick more with yogurt...although I'm still having a bit of ice cream

Thankfully, bananas 🍌 and almost anything that's really soft is on the menu.

 

Again, I appreciate your thoughts.❤️❤️❤️

@Effie54 

 

Aww, thank you for thinking of me.  That really warms my heart.❤️❤️❤️

Yes, this is just gonna be a slow process.  I think dietary restrictions and still dealing with so much swelling are the hardest.  I pray it stays that way too lol.  I was so relieved to hear the Dr thought it looked like it was beginning to start healing.  That's always GREAT news!  I was so afraid of infection and the bad experiences you read some folks have had.

 

I really appreciate your asking about mom too.  Thanks.😃❤️❤️

She's enjoying the physical therapy and learning to use that hand and wrist to do many simple things I'd have never thought about.  I'll tell her you asked, it'll make her day.❤️. I share my forum friends, lik yourself, with her all the time.😃

@cheriere  I'm really glad to hear you're on the mend. It really does take time to heal. You had great news too. One day at a time....and soft foods. Give your mom a hug from me. 💖🥰
