Well I just but a frozen chicken breast in the oven, now that is optimisim, isn't it? Oh well Tomkitten can have the rest after I whittle a tiny bit off.
Do wish my surgeons would have a commitee meeting, Dr Needleman wanted me on a Stage 3 diet at 2 weeks, 4 months in and Dr Noria gave me and is keeping me on TPN,and a token something by mouth if I want, Dr Needleman wanted me to have another scope before my January 15th appointment with him, Dr Noria, at last report, planned to schedule me for it January 25th. Somebody in DoctorLand is going to be pretty peeved about this situation. Me, I have an unending supply of Carafate, Zofran, prenatal vitamins, B12 and Dexilent, that and TPN are what I am surviving on. And I am willing to climb on their scoping table and go to sleep whenever it is scheduled, but I would like it sooner than later. And in case I build up too big a blood supply, they drain off syringefuls twice a week. One of the benefits of a PICC line, it can be drawn there instead of bruising every vein in my arms trying to get a needle in. Sure not the recovery from RnY I 0litted and planned for. But I have lost 50 or so pounds in 4 months, I planned to do it with limited portions, plenty of fluids and exercise like the usual WL patients. Ah Man proposes, God disposes and it don't work to get upset, it just is what it is!

I meant to say Plotted and Planned, oh I had such high hopes everything would be sunny, for 2 weeks it was and then..... ulcerstions and a Structure in Precious Pouch happened and things never were quite the same. I knew I might be a special patient, but This Special I could have done without! But still Happy New Year 2019,and let's see what it holds for me!
