So this is probably going to sound a bit wierd... but I was mad at my spaghetti last night. I made some of my world famous (ok it's famous in my house anyways) home made spaghetti sauce... I had a real craving for something spicy, tomatoey, and oniony, so that means sauce. I made vermicelli noodles and we had some salad and garlic bread. I am not a bread fan these days (sits too heavy) so I bypassed the bread, I had a little bit of salad, about 1/2 a cup loosely packed, and about 1 cup of cooked… Continue

Today was my one month post op appointment with my PCP. When he called my into the examination room he gave me my hug and kiss on the cheek as always and asked me "how is the bravest girl I know doing today?"

(ughhh, men!) I am usually not so weak stomached when it comes to stuff like that. I am the one that cleans up the kids stuff when they are sick or have missed the toilet in any given venture, so the weak tummy is a bit strange. I am f… Continue

Today is a funny kind of day. I am sitting here with sore gums (just got back from a dental cleaning, YIKES!), and thinking about so many of my MGB friends and wondering how they are doing. I am thinking especially about Cathy today. She had her MGB this morning and should be sipping and salting her way around the hospital. She is such a dear heart and is probably schooling those nurses on how to use the word *eh* in a sentence.... like *excuse me, but could you bring me some more ice? I like m… Continue
