Heck yeah on the tamales Eric!

Thanks for the info! I totally relate to some of your issues, I can only chew on one side too and biting something is hard because I can't feel the front right side of my teeth. I actually was trying to open something for the girls and couldn't so I naturally went to use my teeth to open it and was shocked when it just wasn't happening!LOL

I get tired of eating after a while but what makes me stop sooner is the pain I get on my good side of my jaw, it tends to lock up and not want to stretch. I use to have the dribble problem too but it has resolved.

I can't wait to eat meat! I think I could eat more things if I didnt have to wash it down with something because I don't have the greatest control of trying to swallow the chewed food with the liquids in my mouth at the same time. While trying to swallow, the liquid tends to make me choke because it goes down too fast before the food does.

I too need to just be thankful for being able to eat something and thankful that I'm just alive. Thanks for the reminder, I need to hear it to put things back into perspective.
