Dagwood Sandwich (standard version for comparison):
2 slices whole wheat bread
About 1 oz. Swiss cheese, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
About 1/2 oz. feta cheese
1 generous handful greens (dandelion or romaine)
Dash of salad dressing

Blender version
Blend 2 slices bread with a little milk, pour puddle on one side of large plate.
Blend cheese(s) with a little milk, pour on plate next to first puddle.
Blend tomato with greens, pour on plate next to other puddles.
Eat with spoon, rotating among the puddles.
I seem to remember puddled chicken and even puddled steak (with puddled collard greens) on occasion. My surgeon said the stitches could come out after 2 weeks but it took a little longer for the actual appointment. It was still a bit painful eating normal food even then.
Ice packs have always helped me after major dental procedures (4 wisdom teeth; 1 foolishness tooth; the gum surgery above). The gum surgeon had started me on ibuprofen a week or two before the surgery. I had so little pain or swelling that I didn't take any of the pain pill prescription.

Hope you're starting to feel better, lizardlady. Aren't you on antibiotics if you're recovering from an infection?
Thanks for this!
