 I'm off to the kitchen to do scrambled eggs, a bottle of Ensure and lightly toasted bread with butter and jelly.
 
 A dance partner brought me a whole cheesecake last night, homemade, it looks great, just wish I could taste it.
 
 Oh well, life goes on. At least I still have saliva and not having to take pain meds ... yet. I was able to enjoy dancing last night.  Actually I have a lot to still be happy about.
