*~*~*~* J-E-L-L-O ~*~*~*~

Mmmm....orange JELLO!

There was a time that JELLO was the cure for just about any sickness one had.

Tonsils out?
Chicken pox?  

The flu?

Surgery of any kind?

Just have a baby?

Hello!  
Jello!

Yes.  
Jello was fit for what 'ailed ya'....
or at least it was when I was growing up.


I've tried to faithfully carry on that tradition.

This week, I had to pull out the familiar box and boil the kettle and of course, get the glass bowl out, no other kind will do...

My teenager had his wisdom teeth surgically removed so I'm doing all that soft food diet thing and 
J-E-L-L-O
 is just what the doctor ordered!  


ORANGE is my go-to flavor.  
It's cheery and pretty and it tastes the best
especially when you're sick!


By the way, Luke is doing really well.  He got sick from the anesthesia when he woke up, and that was the worst!  


I'm sure his surgeon must have done a stellar job, the teeth were impacted but so far, no swelling on the outside, no bruising on the outside, seems to be healing well.  We iced it yesterday and are doing moist heat today as well as gargling with salt water and taking the antibiotic.  He is taking the high-dose Ibuprofin only twice a day and we are faithfully following the discharge orders.  He hopes to be back to school Monday because he has two big tests then.  


The next big thing?  Driver's Education!  I am not ready for that, quite.  




WHAT'S YOUR J.E.L.L.O. FLAVOR?
