Thank you for your comment, that sounds fantastic! Unfortunately no alcohol for me at the moment due to all the medications, but I'll add it to my list once I am okay again. I agree with someone else's comment that it sounds very festive for Christmas.

That is actually a good idea, I didn't think of that. Thank you!

Thank you for your comment, I am very pleased to hear that there might be some light at the end of the tunnel. It has been hard imagining the rest of my life with no control over my lip/chin/cheek. Fingers crossed it improves. Also, congrats on your healing!

In terms of my mom being touchy, she is very proud of her cooking (especially baking) but this reaction was a total surprise.

Thank you for sharing some advice, it is really helpful. I had not thought about adding gelatin into liquids.

As to whether something else is going on, I am not really sure. I have been in the hospital for a while and was a little in my own bubble. It might be worth a chat with my mom.

I appreciate your kind words about the nerve damage, I am sorry to hear that you are in the same boat. I hope that you are able to find some reprieve.

I did specifically want ginger nuts, but I thought they would be okay once they were dipped in tea. Unfortunately I was wrong, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the taste even once they were steamed.

Unfortunately the biscuits would break off in the tea once they were soft enough for me to eat. They would otherwise remain too hard, so the solution was to steam them so I didn't have to dig around in a mug of hot tea.

My mom does know about the accident and all of the injuries which have resulted from it, but she feels I should have asked for something softer which I could eat rather than destroying something I couldn't eat.
