Did my first weigh in since my operation and I’ve gained 5 pounds, which is expected since I’m not 100% yet. Just the other day, I went roller blading and I wasn’t paying attention and I rode over a pothole and you can say I was flying through the air (like Muffin Man?) and landed on my right hip and severely strained my right shoulder. It’s been a while since I have had a major tumble, but this one was severe. I’m amazed I didn’t break anything. I popped some bromelain capsules for a couple of days do relieve some of the swelling.

Yesterday, I had the avoid of all avoid dinners at a friends house. He was cooking barbecue so I was sure he would have some beneficial meat, but he was cooking his famous pork ribs. I have not had pork in over two years but they were good and tasty. He had baked potatoes with it as well. Need less to say, I ate it out of courtesy along with the apple pie and coffee he served…I had only one beer. I spent that night tossing and turning and usually I awake very restful and relaxed. I woke up with very heavy eyes and feeling very dazed. Talk about great biofeedback. Boy, was I sorry.
