The Impenetrable, Baffling Fortress...


....that is the straw.



I was with my friend today and got a drink from MacDonalds since she wanted something (ugh, I don't eat their food though. Yuk) and could I hell work out how to use the straw! It's not even just because my lip is numb, but I felt like I'd physically never used a straw before, and couldn't work out how to get it in my mouth because my jaws were in the way. That sounds odd I know, but my upper teeth have never gone in front of my lowers, and it feels wrong! I kept trying the get the straw in and my upper jaw would come down like a draw-bridge and block off my way! 


After extracting less than a ml through the straw in about 10 attempts, I just took the lid off......
 
I think I need a straw-using rehabilitation programme or something

  2. Hah! My first week or so using straws I couldn't really feel the straw so I'd start to drink before my lips were sealed around it, soaking everyone around me in whatever I was drinking. Too funny :)

  3. Hey, you're getting there!

    I just started an eating blog for us hungry orthognathic surgery patients called Jaw Nom Nom (http://jawnomnom.wordpress.com). I hope you'll consider stopping by and giving some suggestions on what to eat.
