I forget what I called my new get-well-soon-bunny the other day, but the actual name is PatchRabbit.
You heard it here first.

Broth
Chicken broth. Seems to be working better than anything else right now.
I’m probably going to hit it pretty hard going forward.
Bertha!
Every time I turn around, Bertha the plant clipping has a new branch growing. I’m so proud of her!
Emotional Support Cat
Sure, Patches is my emotional support cat, but as soon as I mentioned that a couple of the incision spots might be starting to get itchy a bit she just checked out.
My Birthday
Today is not just Mothers Day. It’s also my birthday. 51 years young and all that bullshit.
No real birthday celebrations this year. Just liquids, protein shakes, and lots of intake tracking.
Also, I’ve spent the whole day with Jen, so it’s the best birthday ever.
When I was a kid I used to feel gypped when my birthday fell on Mother’s Day. This year I have bigger fish to fry.
Jen is making dinner. For herself. One of my fears going into weight loss surgery was guilt at putting a burden on Jen. I’m feeling quite a bit of that today. She is so encouraging and supportive and I don’t want to make things difficult for her.
I guess the point of this post is that I hope you’re all having a good day on my birthday. Do something fun for me.
Lowell
Everything in Lowell is the same as I remember it, but also totally different.
Protein Shake
My first attempt at a protein shake, post surgery.
It’s just four ounces, and the Lowell Devils glass is just for moral support.

Drip Babie, Drip
I’m Back
I’m at the hospital again. Felt a little light headed when I woke up this morning. Called the on call doctor. She said it’s normal but to go to the ER and get my fluids topped off.
I was really hoping I wouldn’t be back here again. Oh well. The good news is my pain level is really low today. I’m feeling great in that respect.
