Picture

Here is a picture of my mouth (after the massive swelling had gone down) along with answers to questions I get EVERY time I run into someone I haven't seen since the incident:

-No I can't open my mouth at all
-I puree all my food and drink it through a straw to eat
-Yes, it's true I pureed meatloaf, ham and cheese sandwich, a burger, and spaghetti
-Yes I can speak fairly well
-Yes I lost weight... about 10 lbs the first week. I've been eating and working out all the time to gain it back.
-It feels like constantly squeezing my teeth together and it hurts, but I've gotten used to it.
-It needs to be like this for 6 weeks from the time of surgery
-Yawning Hurts... so does sneezing. I can't decide what's worse.

Intro/Story

Hey everybody,

This is the first blog I've ever made, so bear with me. I broke my jaw a few weeks ago, had surgery to put metal plates in, have to have my jaw wired shut for 6 weeks from the time of the surgery.

My friend and I got drunk

He's an angry drunk

I was being a tough guy and told him to go ahead and hit me

He actually did

I said go ahead hit me again...

He actually did

...and so on

I searched the internet for ideas of stuff to blend/how to prepare food so I can keep myself alive and happy during these shitty few weeks, but didn't find much. However, there was a magic bullet laying around that nobody ever used, so I decided to try blending EVERYTHING.

This blog will cover the best and worst things (in my opinion) to blend. Keep in mind, I am NOT a picky eater, and I love almost all food.
