Wow Kat. She sounds kinda like how protective a dog is. At age 14 sou D's like she's doing pretty good. Lol off the cat issue..I woke up at 4:30 instantly thinking protein shake. Was feeling a little hungry so I just drank some water.Just figured protein shake should be drank around this time 8ish. Then I started it says I can have leafy green vegetable for dinner. I don't really like salad due to the dressing. I wonder if it is OK to eat broccoli? Lol I love that stuff.

Im on the KetogenX diet, all leafy or green veggies were allowed. Homemade oil and vinegar dressings were allowed too as long as I limited myself to 1 teaspoon of olive oil a day

Shadow is an Domestic American Shorthair bobtail, we were told by the rescue she was either part bobcat or part manx. All I know is she refuses to let me up and has pinned me to the chair lol.

Wow. Yeah our dog either sleeps right behind or in front of me. Either way he presses against me. So i had to not let him sleep with me at night. Just gotta play it safe for after surgery. Lol hes been following me everywhere.He watches me take shower and if i close door to use restroom when i open door hes right there waiting. Follows me everywhere I go

I got the results back from my preop bloodwork. Excuse me for the forthcoming snarky comment.... Nurse says hey Tricia, did you know you are anemic? Why yes, have been all my life, duh, pale skin redheads usually are. Nurse: Just wanted to be sure you knew. This will mean you might have to take an additional iron supplement postop. Ok *rollseyes*
