Ice Cream for Dinner

To set up this conversation, I have jaw issues. They started around Easter of this year & I was in so much pain I ended up eating only applesauce & mashed potatoes for about a week. My doctor prescribed me a heavy duty anti-inflammatory & a pain killer to get me through it. What happens is that my jaw pops out of socket when I open my mouth too wide or when I move my jaw side to side. The problem recently flared up again & I can open my mouth just enough to eat. Ugh.

Jacob: What sounds good for dinner?

Me: Nothing.

Jacob: Nothing as in you're not hungry or hungry as in nothing sounds good?

Me: Nothing sounds good...except ice cream!

Jacob: You can't just eat ice cream for dinner. You need real food.

Me: But my jaw hurts too much for anything else.

Jacob: Can I get you to eat some applesauce before your ice cream?

Me: I guess.

5 minutes later he offers me some of the Nutty Bar he's snacking on...I take a bite.

Jacob: Your jaw hurts so bad that you can only eat ice cream, huh?

Me: Damn.
