I soak the noodles in the soup til they are mushy. It has to be the wide noodles, the skinny ones that you dip in duck sauce those taste terrible. Ive eaten won-ton soup everyday since I found out I could eat it.
I just learned to eat bread with no crust. It must be very fresh soft bread and I load it with butter then I can eat it.
Right now I have 2 turkey legs in the pressure cooker. Im going to try turkey salad. Not sure if I can do it, but Im going to try.
I have figured out that I have 2 obstacles with eating. One is sometimes its difficult to swallow things especially meats. That one I cant do too much about except keep trying. Second is that radiation has done a number on my teeth. My teeth are loose and I have had a few pulled before treatment. I have control over that problem.
As soon as my recurrance is under control, I am going to start the hyperbaric treatments then have all my teeth pulled and get dentures with implants. I am one of the very few lucky ones whose medical insurance will cover what my dental doesnt for the implants.
