Birthday Cake
Almost four weeks out...
Okay, so my birthday's this weekend. My co-workers decided to bring me a cake, and meat and cheese and cracker trays to work. Oh, and there is a bowl of fruit with melons, peaches, and strawberries, from which I am still forbidden. And let me add, this wasn't just any cake, this was a Cold Stone Creamery chocolate on chocolate ice cream cake. They honestly thought since it was ice cream and would melt, I could have it, since I am on soft foods. Well, it's the thought that counts, I hope they enjoy it.
We always do birthdays around here, I just thought this year it would be flowers or balloons or something I could actually enjoy. As for me, I took a couple of very small pieces of the fresh peaches and cantaloupe, and cheese to my office to have with my eggs that I brought this morning...chew, chew chew...
Sorry for whining.

It was thoughtful of them to do something "soft" and good for you for resisting!
Every year I complain to my husband that my birthday comes and goes and I never have a candle to blow out. Being the wife and mom, I make sure everyone else does. For the first time in 16 yrs of marriage (and 16 yrs of *****ing) he finally got me a cake. And this being the year, I couldn't (wouldn't) eat it! I guess it's the thought that counts but it would've been more thoughtful if he stuck a candle in a piece of cheese.

Happy Birthday!
Your office sounds so much like mine. Pretty much they have a pot luck or food for everything... every meeting, celebration, etc.
When I was first post op, our well meaning secretary (who became my biggest cheerleader) would make everything bite sized for me. She thought that if it was bite sized, then I could eat it. Unfortunately, I had to break it to her that although her treats were delicious (at least they were pre-op), just because they were bite sized didn't mean it was ok for me to eat.
