The Elevator Operator...



Recommended Posts

I was staying at the top floor of a very bad hotel. The service was horrid, the environment was unhealthy, I couldn't wait to get out. I was in such a hurry I didn't bother with my baggage.

I get on the elevator.

"Bottom floor!" I say emphatically to the elevator operator.

Without a word he closes the door, starts down, and stops at the next floor.

He opens the door and there is no one there. He waits, and waits, and waits, and I am getting mad.

He finally closes the door and starts down again.

Then a light lights up on the panel from a higher floor. He stops the elevator and goes back up!

He opens the door, no one there and he waits, and waits, and waits.

This time I am speaking up.

"What is your problem?" Go....down!"

He waits a little more then closes the door and starts down.

Finally, I thought.

He stops again, opens the door, no one there. He waits, and waits, and waits.

I am getting furious!

"Are you insane?"

He yawns and shuts the door, another light from and upper floor, he stops the elevator and goes back up again!

Am I in a nightmare?

Finally we are descending again but the irregular pattern repeats itself, down, stop, up, stop, down, stop, up, down....on and on.

No amount of screaming on my part makes any difference. He acts like he can't hear me.

We finally reach the bottom floor.

I am relieved to see the front door from the elevator but I have to know something before I go out into the free air.

"What is your name?" I ask him.

"Weight Loss", he says.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
