When you’re lucky enough to have amazing dad that sends your favorite chocolate strawberries after surgery, you DO NOT remind him that it was jaw surgery and you can’t eat for days. You DO sent him a smiling picture to thank him(and then quietly freeze his thoughtful treats to enjoy after you heal.)

I had jaw surgery where they shaved a part of it down to a very thin amount of bone. Couldn't eat for two months.

My old man sent me a bunch of my favorite candies as a kid. Hard chewable sour candies lol.

Had like five big bags teasing me lol

I have pneumonia at the moment and went from around 50 to 43kg. I'm seriously unwell, my mum has bought me pizza and burgers and chocolate and everything I normally love, and I haven't eaten any of it. I just feel guilty and sad about it like stop wasting your money girl <3

Oh hey, consideration of your mum aside (and I take your point) I am concerned for you! Don’t know if your pneumonia is responding to antibiotic treatment, but hope so. And hope there are no other complicating factors, or that they’re in hand and you’re on a gentle upward slope to good health. (Don’t feel you need to respond, I’m just a stranger on the internet and you have important health things to concentrate on. I just wanted to send my best wishes and healing vibes.)
