I told my Mom back in the summer when she was putting a load of laundry on in my bedroom. That was when I started drinking two protein shakes instead of eating food for breakfast and lunch. I just told her matter-of-factly that I don’t eat or brush my teeth! We both started to laugh because I had just started using an electric toothbrush and instead of eating solid food, I substituted shakes for breakfast and lunch.
But now I REALLY DON’T eat or brush my teeth! I started using an electric toothbrush in November of 2021 because I had lost ability in my hands to hold my toothbrush and not make myself spit out blood.
Just last month, I changed over to nutrition shakes instead of protein shakes to allow myself to have more energy and for lunch and for dinner, my meal consists of overnight oats, stove top stuffing, and saltine crackers. I talk with my nutritionist again in March.
It seems that all of this loss of ability is starting to mound up and that shocks, startles, and depresses me!!!
