Yoda's Jedi Journals (aka Yoda's Yammerin's)



Recommended Posts

More Yoda Yammerin's....

okay....so I didn't go to work today...not feeling too well. Well, that is an understatement...I am actually having the cramps from hell today. &&%%$##$%&@%$#@

Anyways....it is amazing what leftover demerol from one's surgery will do for cramps!!! Yeeeehaaa! Can you say over-medicate!!! Hey....I know it is like hitting a tac with a sledge hammer but whatever works!!!!

(point to newbies: save some pain medication for possible later usage!).

Anyways.....downfall to being home and not at work: there is a whole freakin' kitchen full of food here. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK. I am NOT hungry but I WANT WANT WANT WANT to eat. WTF is up with that? I don't know if it is because I'm merely home and have access or if it is because of the TOM. Not sure.

So, I just munched on a turkey pepperette trying to pretend it was a cheezy. (by the way...surprise surprise!! It didn't work!).

So, what have I done with my time today? ....well, I watched some TV, came off and on LBT to check things out, watched more TV, and am reading the premiere edition of the HELLO CANADA magazine. (and I read the CAA magazine). I also made a marinade for a pork tenderloin we are going to have this evening. Mr Yoda will do it on the BBQ when he gets home from work (at which he would have cooked all day....am I mean or what??!) (naaah, he loves to cook!).

Anyways....I guess I'll go roam the cupboards again and see if there is anything I can stuff into my mouth that won't make me experience any catholic guilt (and I'm not even catholic!....but man do I get the guilt!). Another WTF??!!!!!

I'll leave you with a "Yoda Yuk-Yuk":

Why do lepers like potato chips?

Because they can use the back of one another's heads as dips!

(okay okay okay, I know it is gross!!!! But I'm obsessing about chips right now!). (lo and behold I don't want chips right now because of that joke!! hmmm I may be onto something here!).

Besides, I know this joke will be right up the alley of my fellow Canucks!!

heheheheeeheh

*skips away to read more of magazine*

Cloe: Mr. Yoda pretty much says that is the cure for EVERYTHING!!! LOL *rolls eyes*

Yeah...I'm not venturing on those threads; I made one or two benign comments on them to express my displeasure at their behaviour but then high tailed it outta there. Immature and juvenile to say the least. Some folks have wayyyyy too much time on their hands and are obviously substituting LBT for a "real life"...although I would like to think that in "real life" they wouldn't behave that way. If they did, perhaps they ARE better off "living" on LBT then out there where we would have to deal with them in reality!! LOL

EH!!! As I said, I like our sandbox better!

:canada: :canada:

ummmm yeah, but MY cramps don't occur prior to the episode...rather they occur DURING the episode....*nudge nudge*....so....I wouldn't particularly like THAT cure if ya know what I mean!!!!

LMAO....poooooor Loriely. I hope you didn't do it in front of Mr. Loriely; it might scare him!!!!

So....was it pretty much everything you ate that day (since it happened throughout the day)....maybe you were just extra restricted for whatever reason? How ya feeling now? Maybe you should do soft foods for the next day or so?

On another note: *doin' happy snoopy dance* laalalalalalalalalalalala I think I'm still a PB Virgin (granted not a slime virgin, but a PB one all the same!)....lalalalallalalalallala!!!

Yeah, I know, it's gonna come back to bite me on the ass....when I DO have my first PB it will prob be a whopper to teach me a lesson!

Seriously tho, I hope you are okay Loriely.

Don't worry Loriely, I think I was worser (?) . I slimed after about 2-3 weeks. Hope your okay. Listen to Yoda (just this once though) eat real soft foods for a day or too.

probably green, eventually. It really isnt as bad as it sounds. It happens when food is stuck, it's your bodys way of getting rid of it. If you have food stuck, it's almost a relief to slime, to get it unstuck. But don't forget that if we chew, chew, chew and eat slow, you can avoid this:) .

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
