So I thought I’d pick a topic that we all do. That would be “COOK”. Before I got the DBS cooking was hard. For example I would try to make grilled sandwiches and couldn’t flip them very well with shaky hands. They would fold and not look like a sandwich and would be a hot mess. I love grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and with shaky hands I would have a mess with the peanut butter and jelly everywhere. When I would make my son’s pasta for the week I would go to spoon it into his containers and due to the shakiness would have pasta and sauce all over the counter. I would make a cup of hot tea and when I’d go to carry it to the table I would spill a little due to the shaking. If I wanted to make cupcakes or muffins filling the muffin tins would be challenging. I would get the batter everywhere. To flip the meat that I was cooking would be hard then I got tongs and it was a little easier. Even buttering toast was a challenge. Using measuring cups and spoons with both liquids and non liquids would be challenging as well. I would spill a little almost every time I would cook and need to use measuring cups and spoons. Eating soup with tremors is not possible at all. Carrying the bowl with soup from the kitchen to the table was hard to not spill.
Now after having the DBS surgery cooking is so much easier. I am able to make grilled sandwiches now. I am able to make my son’s pasta without spilling it everywhere. Using both measuring cups and measuring spoons while cooking and baking became easier. I spilled way less. I can now eat soup without spilling. Filling cupcakes and muffin tins became easier. I actually get the batter in the muffin tins now. When I make meat and it needs flipped I am able to flip it now without a problem. Now I can cook and make anything without the shaking. It is so nice.
Until next time….
