Probably chicken again.
Thinking about just getting a rotisserie bird, and making a pasta salad or something to go with it.

Thursday...

appetite just went away. Tinamommy just made me some flapjacks.

All the butter and thick syrup, just made me go blank on what to cook today for supper.

If it were me...I would throw a couple steaks on the grill; but mommy don't like steak. Actually, not that she doesn't like steak, Its that she will eat two tablespoons, and be stuffed.
Yet...she will eat a slice of cake; then pie; and then 10 minutes later, will snack a few potato chips.

I guess she's more a sweet and then salty kind of eater.
I get that way once in a while. At least I finish my plate of food though. ...

Tina made rice with onions and tomatoes.
She used the leftover chinese rice from the other night.

It was great.
She got us ice cream fron DQ. I had hard ice cream of butter pecan, and it was aweful tasting. It had a flavoring that tasted like perfume. yuuck!
Tina had a soft serve vanilla with strawberry sauce.

Tonight... we had pop corn for a snack. Not very filling!...
I think I need a cheese sandwich.
yeah!.....something that will put more lard on my @**.

Looks great sass.

Haaa..I'm looking inside the pastasalad for the chicken, and I said, awww...the poor thing was so hungry, she ate it already. That's ok!
It's like spaghetti and meatballs when I eat the meatballs first! LOL

THEN......I looked in the background and saw the chicken.

I think I need my eye's checked or should use my glasses.:dizzy:

I have steak and a lot of choices for a side. Won't be a baked potato because that's what I had last night.

Already ate. Italian sub for me, and eggplant parm sub for Tina.

Oh don't worry. I took a few chomps of her sandwich. Would have been better with more than two layers of thin eggplant. Especially at 6.99 for a 8" sub. It's a good thing I wasn't there to check the sandwich.

I am in the same boat as you Jimmy. I have been in pain for about 3 weeks now. It goes from bad to worse. And having to go to the potty so often due to the type 2 it is no fun especially at night. Just walking back and forth sends screaming pain up and down my left side. No getting to sleep with having to wait for the pain and tears to subside after each trip. I have been doing as much cooking and doing dishes and such as I can handle. And driving my DD from work. Not fun but sitting hurts also so may as well be as useful as possible.

Hope Tina feels better soon. XOXOXOXOX

Thanks for the Tina mention.

Yep! The bathroom thing like 4 times from all the water I'm drinking to lube the discs, and the pain killers.
I'm holding off going to bed now because of the imense pain when lying down and trying 100 ways to lessen the hurt! LOL...It sucks, and I lifted N O T H I N G !!

I don't even feel like cooking and even eating. It's my left side too.
The leg hurts like someone has a clamp on it all over.

I have a weight lifters wide belt on over the upper cheek, and a small sinus heating mask stuffed under that. hahahahaha.... It has only been like 6 days now, but I am praying it doesn't last 3 weeks like it did when I worked.

Are you using a cane to help out? I have two. One is great, but Tina hates it cause it clanks on the wood floor. The rubber tip is old and hard.

Take care, and feel better soon.

I sleep in the recliner because laying flat is so painful. I need to elevate my damaged foot or it swells 4X normal. My toes are tingling also from this. Yes I have/use a cane.

We have electric beds ( like the hospital ones ) but they don't help at all.

I'm constantly adjusting the head and feet lift, and Tina is getting peeved at the noise. Then I turn on the massage motors in the mattress, and poor Tina Gets More peeved.
I don't understand...she could sleep with Lucy and Ricky screaming on the TV but when I make noise with the bed motor to adjust the angle...she wakes right up. Oh! and we each have our own bed, and it's just that they are together. hahahahahaha!!
