Chewing

You know, I never really realized it, but chewing food is really important when it comes to digestion of food. It also really sucks when you can't chew. It's been a few days since these wisdom teeth of mine have come out and I was really hoping that I would be able to chew at this point, but because the areas where my teeth once were seem to touch whenever I attempt to chew, it hasn't been the best experience attempting the feat. I started with yogurt and liquids, when it came to food, right after having the teeth pulled. I then moved on to rice and smaller foods of that nature. I could easily swallow all of those, so there was no problem. Yesterday and today, I attempted to eat apples, which was a stupid decision. I would get about halfway through the slice of apple and then I would get tired of attempting to suck the juice and then swallowing the piece and just throw the slice away. It was ridiculous. This was all a result of a lack of an ability to chew.

On the positive side, I've been getting better at eating slower, which is good because I don't want to choke when I finally get the ability to chew back. This slowing of my eating process, along with a lack of a large amount of food, has also allowed me to lose about 4-5 pounds, which is always a plus. I hope that I can get back to Taekwondo soon, though. I feel like I've forgotten some of the things, mostly because I only learned them for one day. Perhaps the internet can help me.

OH and tomorrow is Father's Day! Hooray! I... I think I should really start on that card that I told myself to make... Haha... woops...
