12 days
on January 27, 2007 4:11 pm
I am home now.
I was stuck in Las Cruces for 10 days.  I stayed with sister, Dr. Celeste Taylor a Mayo Clinic trained gastroenterologist.
She took me to a fine restaurant most evenings as well as shopping in a few gourmet and natural grocery stores. 
I indulged in excellent marinara, curry sauce and 

Mediterranean

lemon chicken soup.
I put together a great protein shake combo.  Soy with pea and rice powder, no sweeteners.  I only managed one shake a day.

I have a suger problem.  I am craving the carbs including sweets.  This will be  primary focus in the days to come.  I fought over this sugar habit with my sister.  She watched me for 10 days and called me out on the sugar.  There is a direct connection between sugar (heroin) and negative effects in my body.  But like heroin, the less sugar used, the less is required for the euphoric effect that it imparts.

now i am home and trying to achieve a healthful routine.  I immediately reverted as much as possible to former self-destructive eating.  That lasted 2 days.  I am at my 12th day and going back to strict liquid.  I may have an obstruction already and  am hoping to resolve it.  I am hoping that I did chew every single bite for it only takes one mis-step with a fairly industructable piece of protein.  I can still drink.  My sister , the GI, says it is time to back off all the way. 

I finally got some momentum today.  I started moving.  I was a slug the 10 days at my sister's house.  she would nag about getting blood clots so we walked the shops for excersize..  Here on the 12th day I took a walk long the ditch with the dogs. 

My sister called today and we walked through the pantry together looking for the bad stuff.  Carbs.  I plan to put the noodles in my husband's room with his sweets.  Canned fruit is an issue.  I usually drink the juice after giving the fruit to the boy.  Ettie, my sister, says TO THROW IT OUT.  
Beans are good if chewed very carefully like one bean at a time.  Marinate in Italian dressing.

Tomorrow Morning
on January 14, 2007 9:57 am
I am on the clear liquids today.  I am packing and preparing to drive down state to Las Cruces.  My Mom is preparing homemade broth for me today.  My family is calling and giving support.
My last meal was a the Socorro Brew pub.  I had a large salad and dessert.  I took home most of the salad and ordered the wood-fired salmon to go.  I ate that the rest of the day.
My study buddy, Dave,  called yesterday.  He wants to take linear equations with me this semester.  I guess I will take that instead of the far more difficult partial differential equations or vectors.  Dave and I can get through anything together.
I plan to take weight lifting and yoga as well.
I have to be at the hospital in El Paso at 5:30am Monday morning.  That is kinda rough as we have to drive an hour to get there from Las Cruces.
I will be gone about a week while I recover at my sister's.  Bleh!  I am most comfortable at my home. 
I built my own homemade bidet and do not use TP at home.  I keep a pile of clean cloths on top of the toilet and use those.  I miss my bidet when I am not at home. 
I will not likely have access to internet at my sister's either, so I will write about my first few days when I return.
I am afraid.
