I am really happy about this. Yep!

 
Yesterday, the first time in 3 years... I was able to open my mouth wide enough to bite into an APPLE!
 
We went to Freak-Mart, aka wal-mart, Tuesday and I wanted some fruit. So... I bought 2 bananas and 1 fuji apple.
 
Last night... it was eat whatever you can find night. So... I ate my fruit. I got my apple washed it and then looked at it, all the while thinking "Will I be able to bite it?"
 
I opened my mouth and took a little bite out of it! It was pretty darn cool!
 
It took me 10 mins to eat the apple, because I could only get small bites, but still I got to eat an apple without having hubby to cut it up for me. Yep!
 
I just wanted to share!
 
Apple Eating Joonie Awww... I am sorry... but I have been forbidden aka banned from using any kind of knife for any reason. Yep. When I eat steak I just pick it up and bite it.
 
It all happened because I was trying to open a bottle of sons juice with a knife and I about cut my finger off, and I called hubby crying about my finger bleeding and seeing white stuff and all that. He rushed home and he asked how I done it and I told him.
 
So... now I am not allowed to use a knife for any reason.
 
How about I just bite the skin off for you, and then bite them into littler pieces and spit them back out on to a plate for you? That is about as good as it is going to get.
 
Oh and my son asked for a bite of my apple, I bite him off a piece and he did not want a bite anymore.... I wonder why? Hmmmm...joonie, congrats!  It is definitely about the little victories.
 
I might have to stop using a knife soon.  The other night at dinner, I almost stabbed myself in the ankle when my steak knife just jumped out of my uncoordinated hands and clattered to the floor.
 
Boney, I'm gonna get you some applesauce!
