Some people are just plain ignorant.

I am 100% Italian as far as I know as is my first cousin. She married a fine Irish gentleman about 35 years ago and they have raised two fine children. The husband's mother still refers to my cousin and her husband as a "Mixed Marriage".

Just goes to show we have come along way, because that is something generally that isn't said anymore, but we still have far to go. It was easier for white ethnic groups to assimilate into main stream, because well they were/are white. Someday I hope that race/color will no longer be an issue for all.

But then the Roman Catholics will still fight the Protestants as in Belfast Northern Ireland, the Shiites will still fight the Sunnis as in Iraq and the Tutsi will still fight the Hutu as in Rwanda.

We fight using religion or color as the excuse, but it is all about power and money.

Very very true. I think that most of us never think of those situations, we only look in our back yard. Sad! I am at fault for this one as well. But my focus is here. We can not help anyone else until we can help ourselves.

      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!!
