I saw my primary doctor this morning and got the EKG. She also discussed the results of some recent tests, including the chest xray which looks terrific. She is the 2nd doctor to suggest that I may be kept in the hospital for at least an additional day. There goes Christmas with the family. If I get out of the hospital on Christmas Eve, I won't be in any condition to be with my bunch of rowdies the next day. I'm sure it will hurt to laugh, and I can't keep from laughing when my kids get together.
From there I wasn't far from my hairdresser's salon, but had a little while to kill before that appointment. I ended up going to Starbucks which is a couple doors away from the hairdresser, and had a cup of coffee (I don't really like Starbucks) and a slab of coffee cake. While I was eating I witnessed a conversation between 3 or 4 younger people and I swear I didn't understand a word they said! Gee, I'm getting old!
I love my new haircut. It's short, so no more hair falling in my face, or on my plate, or in my mouth when I'm eating, or all over my clothes. I look like me again.
I don't understand what it is about scales - the kind you step on to find your weight. Last night at the gym it registered 120; this morning at the doctor's office it was 114! What happened to that 6#? Usually the doctor's scale weighs me heavier, but in this case I just don't know.
So between appointments I stopped at Costco and bought a huge bottle of protein powder - I've been trying samples of different kinds but decided I need to settle on one and use it. I also bought a 1/2 gallon of whole milk to mix with it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to tolerate whole milk after my surgery so I'll just enjoy it while I can. There may be a number of things that I won't tolerate, but I'll go by trial and error and see what I can eat.
I am feeling in great spirits right now and hope it lasts for a while. I don't want to wish away precious days, but I will be glad to get this operation behind me, and then deal with the 2nd ERCP. Then look out bears and mountain lions - I'm coming into your territory, so you'd better take cover!

I drove over to Jeannie's this morning for coffee and some tasty cookies. We sat around and worked the NY Times crossword puzzle, and talked about getting an assembly line together to make tamales. It would be so much easier than one person...

I'm not feeling well as you can tell from my recent posts, but I did get a huge laugh from one of the comments to yesterday's post. Normally when I get ignorant and rude comments I delete them as soon as I see them and was going to delete...

I am in plumb pitiful condition. Sneezing enough to shake up my brain, eyes watering and itching, and a whole bunch of other allergy symptoms. I got the Rx for the nasal spray filled, and I think it is the same as I had been prescribed when...
