Ouch!   That is a lot of pills!

Yeah, but at least they are not drugs and no side effects.   She will be done with her detox thing in a day or so, I think the worst has been having to drink the gallon of water a day.  This time of year you don't sweat it out.

Had my 6th surgery in as many years yesterday. This one was for a pesky trigger finger situation in my left middle digit. It was slowly getting more difficult to straighten, so I opted for the knife.



Yeah yeah, I know, nice bonnet.

Getting old is beginning to feel like a quality of life issue. Had the "procedure" last Wednesday, preceded of course with the low-fiber/liquid diet weeklong celebration...

They found infections. Diverticulites. A great reason to painfully restrict my diet, including my beloved pork green chile and salsas. They tell me it's for the rest of my life and for my own good. They also want to repeat this wonderful event annually.

Had my first solid meal since March 30th last nite.

We had Mexican. Screw 'em.

Yep, feeling just OK and eating cardboard is not really living IMO.  Refraining from eating things like that should be temporary to let the body heal, all the chemically created things is one thing, but chilies and salsas? Quackery.

That's nothing!  I had to give up chocolate !!!!!!

"For my own good" ...but I am staying south of diabetes....

Sucks fer sure, Stetto..after years and years of eating what you want ...to now have to read labels and exercise portion control......and being forced to eat stuff you don't like.......
