Guest guest Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Davinna, I hope the surgery goes well. I'd also be taking the smoothie for after - my hubby did that when he had surgery earlier in the year, but he took it in a clear container that he had them put in the fridge - the nurses thought he was very odd indeed!

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Thanks for all who sent me messages asking about my condition. I had a 3 in 1 laproscopic abdominal surgery this morning. I had my gallbladder removed, a hernia repaired, and my spleen " looked at " . Almost 2 months ago, I ended up in the hospital with gallbladder issues. While in there, I had a CT done of my abdomen. The CT revealed a mass of sorts on my spleen. When the surgeon was in there today looking around, he was unable to get a good look at it but was able to tell that the spleen looks " healthy " overall. I came home about 4 hours ago and my mom and I cooked lunch using my VM, I " baked " 5 medium potatoes in the microwave. Sauteed a medium onion with 1/2 stalk of celery, garlic, and mushrooms until the onion and garlic were slightly tender. In the VM, we chopped a carrot then added the onion, celery, garlic, and mushrooms as well as 4 of the potatoes (quartered). Added some chicken broth and heavy whipping cream and a 1 inch square of sharp cheddar cheese and some salt. Started VM on variable 1 quickly turning up to 10 then on to high. When it was " done " , reduced it to variable 1 and added the remaining potato to it. Served with some sharp cheddar sprinkled on top and a dollop of sour cream and a handful of crackers. It was YUMMY! Today, I am especially thankful for the ease of " cooking " with my VM.~DavinnaOn Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 4:47 PM, Dawn McGinnis <macsplace35@...> wrote: I hope your surgery went well Davinna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Actually, my mom and dad went home after my 7 year old got off the school bus. They are helping me out by taking Kenzie home with her and taking her to Soccer practice in the morning. My sweet hubs took the day off and has been waiting on me hand and foot. I am so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends.
