On Thanksgiving day,
1988, my eighteen year old son suffered a broken jaw
during a soccer game. In order to stabilize the
broken bone, it was necessary for his jaw to be wired
shut. My first thought was, "What is he going
to eat?" I asked the Oral Surgeon if he could
provide me with a dietary guide. He shook his head
as he handed me a booklet, saying "This probably
won't help much." The booklet suggested
blending your usual meals. You can imagine how
appetizing that was!
It was not long before I
realized that there just were no good books out there to
help us through this situation. It wasn't just the
fixing of soups and drinks, there were many other issues
to deal with. I decided that if this was difficult
for me ( I am a nurse and also an avid cook) it surely
was difficult for many others. As time went on and
I experimented with recipes and dealt with the other
problems that a person with a wired jaw faces, I decided
to write a book, not just a book, a guide.
The Healing Kitchen contains a
"How To" guide, liquid diet survival hints,
information to help prevent weight loss, how to add
extra protein to the diet and a "First day shopping
list". My hope was to provide a book that
would answer the questions and deal with the issues that
faced my son when in a matter of moments, he was unable
to take in solid foods of any kind. If
you have had this experience you know that there is
no time to prepare. The hardest part is that suddenly
you have to figure everything out for yourself.
Unfortunately the Doctor's offices are usually not very
helpful. The person with the broken jaw is
going to soon be hungry, whether they can eat or not.
