No pedestrians on the Interstate!

Ok, so Day 3 Post-Op my Fiance and I decide to go on a little drive to his fathers house. I thought since I had seat heaters, I could use the time to soothe my aching back and get some fresh air at the same time!!! Armed with my sippy cup I decide some fresh unsweet tea from MCd's would be lovely. Stopped at first one, got my tea in my sippy cup put in my sweet and low and take a big swig...........GROSS, TOO SWEET!!!! I start thinking, well I guess I forgot what sugared goodness tasted like and away we go.. Take one more swig and decide its too good to be true, and try the tea I hadn't sweetened... And Of COURSE! Sweet Tea!!! ugh... so we drive to Bojangles a few exits down, order another UNSWEET Tea, same thing, this time I stay at the drive-thru for my test sample.. I go through the sun-roof!!!!! How hard is it to take orders and give people what they asked for?!?!?! So it took 3 attempts to get my tea, sippy cup armed, off we go.... Coming back home, I suddenly get the biggest pain in my chest, I don't know whether to crap or go blind!!! so I start yelling pull-over! pull-over!!! I have to get out and walk!!!! So here I go on the side of I-40 walking around doubled over with my fiance close behind!! I let out the burp of the gods!!!! It was sweet music!!! Got back in, made it home, went to bed!!! Ugh.. Anyways, first road trip post-op, im going to have to call that one a loss!! Better luck next time I guess!!!

Things taste different after surgery. Can't explain it, but they do. Take it easy...
