Tonight's dinner consisted of a bowl of chicken and rice
soup my neighbor made for me due to a dental procedure
today.  After leaving the office and picking up three
prescriptions I thought about a milk shake.  Nope, not
gonna pay those prices so I stopped at Aldi and bought
a half gallon of vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce and
hot fudge sauce. (I like chocolate!)  Also, a jar of
caramel sauce.  A vanilla shake with an egg dropped
into the mix would be good as well.
 I came home, got the stick blender out, poured a little
glug of half-n-half into the container and made myself
a sorta soft-serve chocolate milk shake.  The soup was
tasty and much appreciated and I suspect scrambled eggs
will be part of my menu and most likely some mashed
potatoes as well.  Oatmeal is another good option.

Scrambled eggs are a given.  (So is soup.)  Maybe some sort of breakfast casserole?  Or cheese grits casserole?  One example here:
"Cheese Grits Casserole
4 cups milk
1/4 c. butter
1 c. uncooked quick-cooking grits
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 c. (8 oz.) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350°. Bring milk just to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; gradually whisk in butter and grits. Reduce heat, and simmer, whisking constantly, 5 to 7 minutes or until grits are done. Remove from heat.
Stir in egg and next 3 ingredients. Pour into a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake, covered, at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes or until mixture is set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving."

I'll be on soft foods for 2 or 3 or more days due to a
granular bone graft.

Here's wishing you a quick recovery. :)
