Three days after my dislocated jaw surgery, I finally ate rice. It felt so good to finally be able to chew! I won't go into the details of the cause of my dislocated jaw, but this experience made me, for the first time, feel joy at having a jaw that can chew properly. Health is truly paramount. I'm also truly grateful to my husband for always being there and seamlessly transitioning us into a complete division of mealtime responsibilities. I eat the leaves, he the stems; I eat the breadcrumbs, he the edges.
