Well, the rules were, no hot food at this time. So I warmed it. Only thing was, I love pepper in my tomato soup, and that’s a no-no, too. All those tiny bits to get into sore spots.

I’ll take ibuprofen. Aspirin is another no-no, because of its blood-thinning properties. And I don’t take but just a baby aspirin anyhow, because I got a bleeding ulcer once from taking it. And job stress. LOL

Now then...go get you some butterscotch pudding next time you go to the grocery store! It’s sooo good.

I think I’ll be taking your advice about going to bed earlier. Still sleepy and have a headache. Probably both due to the anestesia. I WILL be better tomorrow!

How was the weather there? Are you still forecast for a freeze warning? That’s just nuts!

I wasn’t able to eat food at all until the stitches came out, and that was 10 days later. They recommended Ensure but YUCK! I lived on Instant Breakfast instead because it tastes much better and they have the same stuff.
And I had to swish my mouth with warm salt water EVERY time I drank some.

My first “real” meal was mashed potatoes, tomato bisque soup, two cornbread muffins, and some chocolate pudding. Doesn’t sound like much now but I felt like I’d died and gone to Heaven that day. ROTFL!!

Ibuprofen will do the trick.
I can’t take that or aspirin so take Tylenol, and that’s rarely. If my back’s giving me too much grief, I’ll take one.

Yep, the pudding is already on the shopping list. LOL I’ll head to the store Wednesday.

Yeah, give in to the tiredness and headache tonight and hit the sack early. No fun trying to stay up and fight it.

It was cold and windy here today and yes, the hard freeze warning is in effect. It happens often this time of year. We’re quite a ways north of you, where it WOULD be nuts. LOL
