sailorhathorI have a very angry looking bruise on the back of my right hand now from where the guy tried to put the IV in. Told ya my veins were shy. :D
Now I am afraid to eat, because I don't want to bring on another gall stone attack. I mean, I just got out; I don't want to go back already. It's just so hard to know what I can eat and in what amount to keep everything in check. My life would be so damn dull and miserable if I couldn't eat the things I like EVER AGAIN. Is that the way it's going to be? Because I'll take this damn gall bladder out myself if that's the way things are going to be. I can pretty much give up ice cream; it was never a big thing to me anyway. I can *cut down* on fatty foods, try to eat more vegetables, eat more in moderation. But I'll be damned if I am NEVER having Cajun food again. No more Tex-Mex? The hell you say! No more salsa and cream cheese dip at Christmas? EAT ME. No more Wendy's fries every once in awhile? Kill me now.
I am not afraid at all of having the operation, so if it becomes necessary, here! You can have it! ::spluch!:: ::throws gall bladder into the trash:: Two points! But if the doctor simply won't do it...
I know I need some time to get used to this, and then I should be okay. But the key is just not to overdo it, right? Because I was thinking about when I had the pain the first time, and how I threw up, and that day, I had overdone it with the roast (which is a little greasy, even though I cook it in the crock pot). I was lazy and had roast for both meals, with some cheesy rice. Then, Friday going into Saturday, I had overdone it again by having pizza (fatty), then ice cream a few hours later (more fat), and then mac n' cheese a few hours after that (more cheesey fat). So, if I just watch what I eat, I can still eat the things I like. Right? RIGHT?!?! ::whimper::
