I was gone a big chunk of the day today to pick up some things for a friend in the hospital and then go visit her. I am very worried about her. She had gastric bypass surgery several years ago, and since then has lost more than half her body weight, and it has saved her life. But now she is experiencing complications. She had to have emergency surgery over the weekend for an intestinal blockage from scar tissue, and she is not doing very well in the eating department. This is very scary for me. My closest friend in the world had gastric bypass and ultimately died as a result of complications from the procedure, when she became unable to tolerate any food. When they tried to reverse the surgery, she suffered cascading organ failure and died -- at age 50. So I am worrying about my friend -- a lot.
When I got home, the dogs behaved as though I had gone to the Amazon for six months, and they are very clingy tonight. I think it's because I've actually been gone quite a bit this week, and they are not used to it. They think I should be under their direct supervision 24-7. They will not be happy when I go out tomorrow. The crazy part is -- they are almost never alone, even when I'm not here, there's almost always someone here with them, but apparently if it's not me, it's not good enough. How nice to be needed!
My diet is bumping along. I didn't record yesterday because I went out for lunch to a good Italian restaurant, and actually didn't do too badly. I had a Caesar salad made with kale, and a pasta dish with just tomatoes, basil and seafood. Plus I took a huge gamble and had a decaf cappuccino -- took a Lactaid tablet when I started drinking it, and I did ok. I'm still ok today, but I am having mucho rumblings in my gut. I think I need to be a bit more careful for the next few days, weeks -- I'm apparently not ready for prime time as they say.
