I am Just a SeaMonkey

See I know that anything I type just gets launched into the void, drifting in space like a SeaMonkey in a fishbowl. It may offend, inspire, or amuse the other SeaMonkeys but at the end of the day there will be no political reform, coup d'etat, or religious restructuring.

The fishbowl belongs to Alex and he could easily pour a little Clorox into the bowl if we get out of hand.

All this has been said before, but I thought it would be nice to have an oasis for the peaceful, fun loving SeaMonkeys to come and float in peace.

Today's topic will be: Children's TV programming from the 70's and 80's

If someone comes to defecate in this pond or to bite the other monkeys, I will request a lock.

Childrens programs from the 70's oh lordy that hit a nerve. I loved watching Saturday morning shows, looked forward to the new ones every September.

I remember watching Sigmund and the Sea Monster, HR PuffnStuff, Laffalimpics (sp?), Felix the Cat, Josie & the Pussy Cats, Shazam, Fat Albert, The banana Splits, The Groovy Ghoolies, Land of the Lost, Bugaloo's, Wacky Racers, Speed Racer... and so much more like on channel 13 (PBS) The Electric Company, Zoom, Mr. Rogers.

Wow what memories it brings back.

We left out Catch That Pigeon....

My wife and I realized we were meant for each other (we hated each other when we first meet) after having a 4 hr long conversation about cartoons. Specifically the Pink Panther side series, like Ant and aardvark, Mr Jaws and Catfish, and the ones no one ever remembers...The Tijuana Toads (later changed to Texas Toads) and the crazy legged crane, and Hoot Kloot.

My DH couldn't believe that I hadn't heard of of the Sid & Marty Krofft shows, so we rented them on Netflix... 20 years too late. I probably would have liked them when I was younger. OK, Sigmund was a little bit cute.

I was a cartoon lover: Smurfs, Snorks, and Scooby Doo. We watched Little House every Sunday before church. Most of our TV time was PBS, so as a kid I loved Mr. Wizard.

Is this topic dry? Want a new one? How about favorite vacation ever? We can still list or favorite kid shows too... Lets stretch and see if we can do two topics at once.

      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
