My favorite homemade ice cream is banana. The closest thing to that is a Banana Milkshake from Cook Out.
I spent Saturday with Dad and hung out in Smithfield. Everyone rode back home with us so they could meet the grand-dog: Hank.
Of course on the way home, I asked for some dinner - Cook Out. I got a cheeseburger and a banana milkshake. It was awesome.
What I had forgotten/not realized is that part of my tongue is still ... numb. Think of the dentist but a small portion still with no feeling but the stuff around it working. Normally you compensate and no one really notices.
Unless you drink a milkshake and numb your tongue. Then everyone notices because your speech goes all to hades.
I was trying to talk to Sharon (aka Step-Mom) on the way home and realized my pronunciation wasn't working. If fact, my tongue was working that good. Didn't take me but a second to realize what the problem was. I'd wait a few seconds and then it was all good again. Until I took my next gulp.
I finally figured out it was just easier to drink my milkshake and not talk.

Nannypea was diagnosed with a Malignant Brain Tumor on October 7, 2008. It was removed Oct 9 and then followed by 6 weeks of radiation combined with chemotherapy. The chemotherapy treatment will continue for another year for approximately 1 week per month. The part of the brain affected (left frontal lobe) controls speech and word choice - among other things: the right side of my face and arm, random seizures, etc. This makes life very interesting!
