I'm Back

[Guest guest]

After the holidays with the kitchen full of food - quite successful- I had a

hysterectomy.  I am three days post op.  Food is not an issue.  It's an

accomplishment to eat enough food each day.  It feels like an accidental Four

Day Win. 

 

I see lots of new people out there and hope that this is the year they find

peace.  I have found alot of peace.  Right now I struggle with those taking care

of me cooking and constantly putting the food they think I need in front of me. 

It is very caring, but I need to let me body decide what it needs.  My GI is

still messed up. I also struggle with having no privacy or extended periods of

quiet time.  I " m just going to pick up from here with the posts.  I am nervous

about not being able to exercise for weeks.  But I am really focusing on what my

body wants - not what everyone else wants me to have.  I'm at the end of the

rope with everyone having an opinion as to whether I should sit, stand, lie, eat

, drink, sleep, take medication, blah blah blah. 

 

I will complain about one thing.  I mastered the kitchen full of food, Both here

and in California.  Still others like to give me grief about my kitchen.  Their

opinion of my ability to have a working kitchen seems to be carved in stone, and

what they consider my identity to be.  It's frustrating to have made enormous

progress and have it go largely unrecognized.  I have to remind myself that all

my good work has taken me to a " normal level "    So others aren't likely to

recognize the progress.  Anyway, there is now a ridiculous amount of food in my

houses and I couldn't give a rat's behind about it.

 

More late.  Need meds.
