I have decided to rail road this thread into some of my musings on life... because I can.

#1: Inevitable Head Injury Day

So as many of you may know, I am legally blind. I can't see much of anything and will walk straight into people because, for me, they don't exist. This leads to many problems but my least favorite one is the inevitale head injury day.

That cat is whining at me. I assume he wants food or Water. I'm wary of going out to check because we recently moved his food and water outside and I am certain when I bend over to check the bowls I will impale my head on something.

I put it off as long as I can but the cat's continual whining is driving me batty so I decide I'll take one for the team and go check the bowls. I wander outside, check the bowls and.... NO HEAD INJURY!! YAY.

I then wander back inside (the bowls were both full, stupid cat) and decide to open all the windows in the house because it's wonderfully cool outside. I open the boy's bathroom window, turn around and smash my face firmly into the door which has swung around without warning.

I KNEW I wasn't going to escape that damn head injury.

#2 Animals

Why on earth do I want animals? Sure I love that little cat but... what the hell does "waaa waaaa waaaa waaaa waaaa waaa waaa waaa waaaa waaaa waaaa waaaa waaaa waaaa waaaa waaaa waaa waaa waaa *breath* waaa waaa waaa waaa waaa waaa waaa waaa...." MEAN??

There's food. There's water. I've petted the little bastard (I am sure he has no clue who his father was). I've played toss the cat (fun game. He runs and jumps on the bathroom counter, I hurl him the fifteen feet or so to the bed, he runs back and jumps back up on the counter to be thrown again). I have catered to all his needs. "... waaa waaa waaa...".

And what was it he wanted?? Water from the sink instead of his bowl.

That concludes my rantings for now. More will surely follow.

no but you can axe me one.
Oy, yep - we have that here too. And maybe it's a midwest thing, I really don't know - it certainly wasn't this way when I grew up on the west coast - but people here pluralize everything, and turn entire sentences into one word. Example:

Yawntgo Walmarts wiffem?

Aight, but kinwego Sonics too?

Ok, something that secretly bugs me, just a bit. You "lose" weight, you don't "loose" weight. We're "losers", not "loosers" (umm... some of us might be though...) On a board I used to belong to there was one lady who would always exclaim, "I wanna be looser!" I don't think she knew what she was saying. :)

"axe" is a southern thing too.

I hate it.

"Jeetyet?" and the proper and answers are "fixinto" or "nop-yant-to" to that question

For those of you that dont speak NC - red neck, that is "Did you eat yet?" and the answers are " I'm fixing to" or "No, do you want to?"

#3 Defying the law of Physics

Why is it that if I weigh, then use the bathroom, and weigh again.... I weigh MORE? How is THAT possible.

axe, and the misspellings that wheets has talked about are my big pet peeves. So is "eXpresso"....no X in esspresso people!!!

I also hated the putting an "r" into words where they don't belong. "Go warsh your hands" "My granddaughter lives in warshington"

The southern accents don't bother me though. I understand my husband's family better than he does. And after every visit I leave sounding like them as well. Its weird, but he grew up in Georgia, with parents from NC and TN, and he has no accent. makes me sad.

Dawg, as for the cat...i don't know what to tell you. Elwood speaks to me all the time too. I'll check the food and Water, check the litter box (he won't go if it is the slightest bit dirty) and make sure he has his toys. he just likes to talk. So I like to think he is telling me how much he loves me.

"Welcome to Sonics, may I take your order?" YIKES!!!

Lemme axe him to come too... Must be something from the South.

Wheets~ Same here about the LOOSERS! :0) pet peeve of mine... you guys feel free to point out my typos and spelling errors... I hate that stuff. I try really hard to make sense most of the time.

There is a particular person around the forum that drives me insane with his misspellings.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
