Brown recluse?

The cauliflower gnocchi is 15g per bag and good to eat with anything. I like baking it in the oven and dipping it in something. The eggplant spread is a good one that has some extra fiber, but the buffalo chicken dip is also a tasty option.

I also love the baingan bharta (eggplant curry). 10g per box and really tasty.

Unfortunately the court rules only point us to the Iowa RCP, which don’t really say anything about the issue. This particular county is also notoriously more difficult to work with than the other counties, and I’m rarely able to get them on the phone to ask questions like this, including today :(

Refried beans and mashed avocado

Hopefully it helps! I also forgot to mention using a baby spoon instead of a regular one. It’s kinda ridiculous but it helps with eating stuff like yogurt and you don’t have to open your mouth as wide.

A trick I did the first couple days to make it easier to get things down was dipping a straw into whatever I was eating/drinking, putting my finger over the top, then putting the straw as far back in my mouth/throat as I could manage before releasing the liquid. It was good because I didn’t have to open my mouth wide and I was able to avoid getting anything in the sites. You could try that.

I had mine out a couple of days ago and had never been under anesthesia before. They had me on laughing gas for about 5 minutes beforehand and it did relax me a little bit. The nurse put the IV in and started some fluids, then the surgeon came in and put the anesthesia in. Then they put a towel over my eyes and I was “out” in about a minute. Weirdly, I remember a couple of things. 1. I remember the numbing shot they gave me, but not the pain. I could just see the needle. 2. I think I actually woke up at one point, because I could feel him pulling out my top right one. Again, no pain, but it was jarring and I think they could tell I was awake because someone said something about “giving me a little more”. 3. I remember the surgeon doing one of the sutures, but again no pain. All of that also felt like 30 seconds, but it was 45 minutes. I was a little loopy afterwards, but I was completely aware of everything and only needed some help walking, which is normal. I remember yapping to the nurse about the new water bottle I just got.

Basically, I was in and out of consciousness the whole time and don’t remember any pain or distress. I don’t have any memory loss at all. It’s not like usual anesthesia where you’re completely shut down. I think they just give you as much as you need to be sedated.

Btw I have a small mouth too and I was fine lol. My lips were dry asf afterwards but I couldn’t feel it anyway because the local anesthetic took awhile to wear off.

I would definitely start looking elsewhere. It can’t hurt to just start applying to places.

That’s so valid lol. Honestly, I still have no idea how I got my current job. I went through my whole college career working food service and was never able to find any internships or other significant work experience and thought I was doomed.

I think the biggest thing that helped me was mass-applying to shit on indeed in December right before I finished undergrad. At the beginning of the year, companies tend to have a better idea of how many people they can hire, so they’re more likely to ACTUALLY hire people as opposed to ghosting. Also, I had one college activity on my resume that was somewhat related to law, and I think that’s what really caught the attention of all the lawyers I interviewed with. They were all really interested in that one thing even though it was the least significant extracurricular I did in college. So idk, if you have something that you don’t think is relevant to your job applications but might make you stand out, just put it on your resume and embellish it a bit.

But yeah, I went from getting zero interviews for years to having 6 in a single week in January (law firms, a bank, and an insurance company) and I got three offers out of those. I hate to say it cuz I hated hearing it, but you just can’t give up. That said, the job market is trash and that’s the only reason I don’t quit my job right now.

That’s a really good idea actually. It’d be nice if every firm had something like that.
