Day 5

Apr 12, 2010

I wonder if I should continue to number my days.  It seems kinda weird, but we'll see.  Today was the best day yet.  I went to the grocery store with my man to buy ingredients to make a soup I took from someone on this site.  My bf drove and I was careful.  I did feel a little dizzy and tired after but I put the oxygen on and played a little on the computer.  

Then, I cooked!  I made soup of course, since I'm still on the liquid diet.  I made a black bean soup and then I pureed it so there were no bits, even though the bits were soft enough to eat.  I think I like it better pureed because it makes it a slightly thicker soup but it tastes the same.  I just learned today that I love the spice cumin.  It's so good and makes me think of chili.  I only took a taste so I can eat it for dinner with my bf when he gets home.  He said he would eat it even though he doesn't like soup.  I didn't puree his, but I think he might end up doing it anyway later because he likes thicker soup too.  Who cares if it looks like brown goo if it tastes awesome, eh? :)   Plus I have four servings besides the one I set aside for him so that's awesome too!  It'll probably last me four days I think, including today.  

I still have to exercise today and I will.  I have been getting up and whatnot and I found making the soup a little tiring for my back which I am using, compensating for my tummy.  It is hilarious to see how often I normally was just ignoring my belly now that I have to be all careful!  I go to do dishes, I press my belly against the sink, and oops, ow!  Then I reach for a cup, oops, ow belly.  I tried brushed my teeth earlier, and oops, ow.  No wonder the one incision site is all irritated (yes I checked, it's not infected, just annoyed at me for not paying attention).  :)   So I keep trying to catch myself.  Hopefully soon I'll catch more before the twinge reminds me!  Poor boo boo.  It was a nice day.  Maybe I'll actually grade some of the papers that are teasing me on my desk.  Or maybe I'll wait for them for tomorrow.  Next up, relax for about an hour and then exercise is on the menu.
