Another Cancellation and Captain Crunch To The Rescue

Dilation procedure number XII was scheduled for today but due to a nasty head cold it had to be cancelled. Something about wanting me to be able to breath while under sedation. Picky people.

Aside from the normal downsides to having a head cold not being able to swallow properly adds another dimension to the problem. There aren't many things that I can just wolf down without a severe debris issue. I decided that maybe it was time to revisit some foods I tried back at the beginning and to see if they would work better now. Enter Captain Crunch cereal. This actually works reasonably well as long as I take small spoonfuls. The nice thing about this cereal is that is crunches into nothingness in your mouth quickly. As long as I take the time to chew it properly it doesn't have that much of a debris factor. I can't eat it as fast as I would like but it is something I don't have to spend anytime making. This opens up a whole new area of opportunities for eating in the morning. My normal routine is to take about 15-20 minutes making something that I then take 20-30 minutes to eat. As you can imagine with a head cold that gets to be a drag. Now I can browse the kids cereal section at the grocery store and hopefully have a wide variety of options. Next up Crunchberries! BTW in case anyone didn't know they aren't real berries. Check out this story. Apparently Froot loops don't contain any real Froot either. Go figure.
