Nov 8 - Tue; went to lunch w/ Norma, Lisa & Maria to Logan's Roadhouse; ordered the grilled salmon ceasar salad; was very careful to not eat fast and chew well, however, at the close of the meal, I could feel that something was "stuck"; got in truck headed back to the office and had to make an emergency stop an another local restaurant's bathroom and upchuck. So much for lunch ... $12 down the toilet ...   Nov 9 - Wed; went to lunch w/ Norma H, Norma Y & Maria to Sylvia's Mexican Resta
Doctor office scale = 268 lbs; UGH! went up 3 lbs since last visit; showed Connie (RN) the picture of the bruising from last month's visit & she said it was because of all the needle sticks; she was able to find it right away this visit; received add'l fill of 0.25cc.

* Scale shows 267.2 lbs. * Healing process is going well. No real trouble with gallbladder removal.

Guess I'm just not "creative" enough to come up with alternative meal. Tired of drinking protein shakes and broth. Main difficulty seems to be gas ... sticking pains in my lower left side not readily cured by doses of Lortab elixer, Maalox, or Tums (ho-hum!) *
