Too much, too soon

I eated too much!

For the week prior to surgery, I felt too ill to eat, and and had only IV fluids the whole time I was there, and when Dr Parker acceded to my wishes to go home on Tuesday, he warned, "Start back eating very slowly and lightly." Yeah, right.

I was HUNGRY. And everything tasted so GOOD. And people brought us so many delectable things. BUT by 10 o'clock last night, my poor outraged digestive system screamed, "Enough!" Doubled over in pain, I remained as sick as a dog all night long. Jimmy didn't get a wink either, and he says this past week has been the worst of his life.

Weaker and wiser now, I'm managing to keep down clear chicken broth and Coca-Cola, and am going to listen to the doctor this time.
