I keep thinking of things to post. Get this - someone in a parking lot where I pay to f'n park hit my front bumper today. How wrong is that!?! So tomorrow will be looking at others' cars to see if I can find the culprit. RUDE!

Have you all heard that Atlanta is out of gas? Fun, huh? I have a quarter tank so hopefully I can make it through the week!

I'm not an early bird either. And I have to be at the hospital by 6am tomorrow. I hope my SURGEON is a freaking morning person.

I hate to be the "downer" in all this, but I overheard Mac's surgeon saying this:

"Looks like I picked a bad time to give up the pills"

Ok, so maybe that was a quote from Airplane! but I couldn't resist.

BBK - ugh, I feel for ya. I used to get strep all the time as a kid...yuk.

Plain - I'd say we should spank you for being ugly to Momma Mac but you'd prob like it.

Yep, no gas. Very annoying. People have freaked of course and there have been runs at the stations. Did anyone in "command" think that this might happen and perhaps do some kind of rationing? Hell no, that would be too much like right. In 1972-73, we lived in E.Tn and went through rationing then. Can ANY government official be proactive?

As we are seeing with the economic situation - I do believe the answer is HELL to the no!!! Congress updating regulations since the 30's? Nawwwww, that too would be too much like right. *jumping off soapbox* My apologies!!!

Well that would be an understatement...

Sucks about the petrol shortage. I feel the exact same way about government. What the hell are they doing up in congress, besides drawing a cush salary and reaping enviable health insurance? They certainly weren't making sure huge lenders weren't giving out fraudulent morgages...

There are days when I just don't like the human race...

Sometime during last evening/night, a vehicle drove over the sidewalk at the front on my house, and over the pressure treated lumber barrier that separates the sidewalk from my property (I'm on a bit of a slope), breaking the barrier, and then drove onto the lawn. Apparently they/he/she 'gunned it' to make a hasty departure, and gouged a significant hole in the lawn (previous posts would have referred to the seemingly endless rain, therefore ground is still very Water logged). No one came to the door to apologize – grr! The deductible is more than the cost of repair, so of course, I will pay out of pocket to replace the boards, paint them, and just leave the lawn to repair itself – but I am not impressed!

And the morning is the BEST time of day...

BBK - hope your throat improves

Plain - you do like to tease, don't you?

Gas - don't get me started on the oil industry and its connections with governments.

Thankfully DH is able to do almost all renovations in our house - and 60year old bungalows that previous owners did not maintain, nor do basic upgrade to, need a lot of love and attention! Pre-DH, good contractors were well-worth the money; bad contractors were nothing but trouble!

there IS a purpose for donkeys. (DH says) are trying to give them away.

Well, we made (or almost) it through another day. Just posting to be posting.................:girl_hug:

They do give them away free. Take one and save a donkeys life. Ever been to the Black Hills? They are from old miner donkeys that were abandoned and just multiplied. They're tame and cute as they can be.

      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
