...not to do THAT again.
I hope that you really didn't think that I was going to eat the remains of the Hardee's Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit for lunch. I ran out for 'take away' Chinese and ordered one of my favorites, Chicken and Cashew, only hot and spicy, the way I normally used to eat it.
Big mistake!
I had taken my pain meds at Noon and thought that I'd try getting back into real food. The Vicodin should be able to save me, right?
Going down was fine, but once the food had been there a while, it stopped being fine. I had to eat a pint of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream to put the fire out! And then just barely.
So I spent the afternoon, trying to nap to escape the stomach pain.
Because of the ice cream, I missed one of my scheduled doses of Carafate today.
Ben, there's some good Chinese food in the fridge that I won't be eating. It's all yours. I hope that you like Chicken and Cashew.

Ben,
My family and I are long time friends of your sister Cuzanne. She is an incredible human being. Since you are her brother, I'll have to assume that trait runs in the family! We live in Nashville, TN. I just wanted you to know ... you will be in our thoughts and prayers.
God bless you,
Wayne Sullivan & Family
Hhhhmmmm.... Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream, Chinese Spicy Chicken & Cashew, Hardee's Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit.... WHAT HAPPENED to that health-food-eating-"the closer to natural, the better"-Dad I met when he was vacationing down here in Florida a few months ago!?!? Where did he go? I knew my REAL Dad would be back soon ;-)!!
Wayne, & Family, thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
Although we've never met, Cuz has mentioned your name on occasion, our names have been on some of the same emails together, and she has to be seeing someone when she runs off to Nashville to see folks. I know how much she respects you so that carries some weight with me.
But please don't assume that Cuz's good points run in the family. Just recently I told her that I was sorry that I had waited until adulthood to find out what a good person my kid sister really was; I missed so much when we were younger. But she was just my kid sister! Who thinks of their kid sister like that?
And look at her now.
However I do recognize how great she is, and I hope that she rubs off on me, and onto others. Does that count at all?

My loving daughter, you try eating (drinking) Ensure Complete Balanced Nutrition in a little bitty bottle for months and see what the first thing you try to eat is when you can finally eat real food again.
I have missed flavor for so-o-o-o-o long......
Besides, I have been buying food, good healthy food, figuring that I should be able to eat it--it's healthy, right?--only to have my stomach tell me, that healthy or not, that stuff isn't going into my stomach. So I end up throwing food away away.
I still have to clean all the stuff I've bought out of the fridge that I haven't thrown away already. The canned goods can stay in the cupboard. Those I can actually eat now, but they lack any real flavor.
Besides, how did I get into trouble eating healthy foods, huh? It might surprise you to know that I have a theory on that.
But thanks for the teasing, Amy. I appreciate that more than anything else.
And, HEY, I'll concede the ice cream and fast food biscuits, but what is there about Chinese food that isn't healthy? Huh? Huh?
Ben don't worry about the comparison, like the great friends that they are they didn't meantion any of my less desirable taits, just like you didn't. See, that's why your-all so special.
Now about those food choices. I can totally understand your wanting to eat the food you love. But you have to remember that your insides just have a bandage on, it's not healed up yet.
*hugs*
