Thank you for your replies!

My dentist also overlooked it - even when I asked him when getting the tooth fixed. I now have a new dentist wink

I'm doing okay eating - no spices, crispy textures, or dry foods of course, but I'm eating regular foods a little more each day. One challenge I have is making sure I don't each too much vitamin K as it interferes with the blood thinners I'm on from the pulmonary embolism after surgery. I miss broccoli and spinach. Getting the blood thinner dose correct has been a challenge since surgery since I haven't eaten normal since then, but in the next month or two they said I may be able to add back some broc/spinach as my diet gets more normal.

I'm trying to get enough rest. I'll have a day or two with alot of energy and then I about drop from exhaustion for a few days. The docs released me to work 1/01/08. RO said full time but surgeon said part time thankfully. Started back full time on 1/23/08. My house is a mess, but oh well. I need my naps :-)

I was treated at St Louis University Cancer Center. Wash U is very good so I know you have a great doc too! Let me know when you are coming to St Louis!

Thanks again for your replies! Hope everyone has a great day today!
