…..my road to recovery has been painless
After icing my jaw all day long yesterday I was happy not to have to do that today. There was little to no swelling this morning so I guess the ice paid off. I started the morning with a delicious peach mango smoothie that my husband made for me and for lunch I had some creamed soup and leftover mashed cauliflower with an egg mixed in for some protein. Both meals were somewhat satisfying and I wasn’t as hungry today as I was yesterday.
One of the benefits of staying home and having restrictions as to what I’m allowed to do is that I was able to get a lot of reading done. I’m all caught up with my emails and I’ve finally started a new book, Road Ends, by Mary Lawson which I’m about a third of the way into. I’ve also been able to research some great art sites for ideas for upcoming art classes at school.
We also got some good news today. My husband went for his quarterly check-up at the hospital this morning and his blood count is still in the normal range. It’s always a little stressful for my husband on those days coming up to his appointments.

Knowing that we don’t have to worry about the return of my husband’s cancer for at least another three to six months brings us both a great deal of pleasure.

So glad that your recovery has gone well and that you’re nearly back to normal now .. this with teeth is always a problem when they are playing up. I’m very lucky, had very little problems with my teeth – haven’t done anything with them for over 15 years now, but I was so afraid of the dentist after school, so I mistreated my teeth and that of course damaged some of them, but the fillings are still there, just amazing. Haven’t had a hole for nearly 30 years.
Love your entry .. and I can see in your images why they stand for your pleasure.
