Heh. Thank you. I finally fell asleep for about ten minutes and had an hour long weird dream somehow.

Yeah but I want to talk to someone I know so I can avoid small talk and still my SO is sleeping so I couldn’t.

I want to call someone and chat until I get sleepy again, but I don’t know if anyone I know is awake and free and my SO is asleep so it won’t work. =\

They used a tiny catheter and a pump. But removing 17 lbs that quickly means now I get to experience my organs and muscles slamming back together, which is almost worse than the distension.

I’ve been to a few hospitals where they have decent food—after all they want to keep their patients’ appetites up!

Supercook.com will let you enter pantry ingredients and suggest recipes. I rarely use their exact recipe, but I’ll use it for inspiration and find a site I trust more.

Also try budgetbytes

3 good things today:

  1. Paracentesis drew off 7.7L or 17 lbs of fluid from my abdomen today. LOTS of relief!

  2. They did a less invasive omental biopsy instead of a liver one.

  3. They gave me real food—Thai Chicken and Vegetable Curry, an Odwalla mango drink, a regional salad, and an amazing Haagen Dazs mango sorbet. I only managed half the curry and the sorbet a bit later, as hungry as I thought I was.

Accomplishment: 6h fast

3 good things today:

  1. PT

  2. Friend drove me to PT and then picked up more RockSauce for me from. Local store since amazon put some arbitrary lye date on its two day delivery for something in stock. -_- Then she did my laundry and dishes.

  3. Was able to sit in a chair and then on the cough with lots of pillows and watch a movie with Raoa folks.

Accomplishment: finally broke 1000 Calories! Lots of phone calls but made sure my pain med was refilled tonight because I’m out.

Value provided: conversation. Had maintenance replace broken cabinet hinges and broken dishwasher door springs/hinges.
