After some great improvements today has been less about making strides and more about small steps. I have found this incredibly annoying and frustrating.
My task for the day was to start a "soft" diet, having managed with liquids fairly well yesterday today I was needed to try some soft foods. Well I tried but didn't do as well as I would have liked, my major problem is working out where in my mouth the food actually is. My mouth is pretty numb still, although some sensation is there its really tough to know what to do.
I ended up copying what babies seem to do and just generally make a mess. I managed to eat a bit though, so small steps.
None the less, I'm not feeling as buoyant this evening as last.
Hohum. Life is never simple. I'm missing my family like mad too, which isn't helping my mood. I'm trying to look forward, tomorrow will bring more eating challenges for me, another day closer to getting home - all of these things - but why do I have to learn to eat all over again? The indignity of it!
