Wednesday 10/11 and Thursday 10/12

Wednesday was my check up on my right eye, so I went out to lunch with my sister/chauffeur. We went to LaRosa's, after yet another failed attempt to try AA Hitching Post. We were even joking on the way about what excuse there would be for not being open  THIS TIME. 

There was no excuse. They just weren't open. On the way out, we saw that their hired sign was blank also. If anyone wants to have a business, it usually works better to actually be open sometimes.

Anyway, we ended up at LaRosa's. I had a small meat pizza and french fries, with a diet coke. Bleah. I could only eat half of it and we took the remainder with us. It ended up being my supper as well. Had two of the little cups of ice cream at some point. And in the early morning hours, a can of tomato soup.

So, it wasn't really a pig out day as much as it was a keep-going day. 

Today, Thursday, I had a cheese sandwich, chicken noodle soup, 3 cheese coneys, and two ice creams. We had a Head Start meeting at the library today, and had to do some back and forth with the school, and while there was no great exercise today, there was also no napping. Got to keep Warren for a bit while Mom went to store, and then after she went to work. He had me hopping up and down, let me tell you. I guess I can count that as exercise. 

I'm planning some toast for my midnight snack around 4, unless Tam and I go to the store after she gets off work. Probably not, because she is going to be dead on her feet, and cant go to bed until about 9. She may need caffeine to make it, though. If I do get anything else, I'll report it tomorrw.

Eye see -- Not Today

Had my first cataract surgery today. Involved fasting, as most surgery does. And then a pigout.

Had the breakfast bar at Frisch's. Mostly proteins, followed by fruit, but i did sneak in a few potatoes. And some cottage cheese. One biscuit and gravy. They didnt have banana slices in strawberry glaze. Peaches and pears were canned and served in syrup.  delicious.

Later I had two slices of pizza.

That was it for today.

Just as well, as the surgery, even though in my eye, has a lot of restrictions on activity.
NO:
bending
lifting
stooping
carrying
jolting
jostling

until i see the doctor again next week.
So that leaves out all but the most mild forms of exercise, and even that can be fraught. Walking can lead to stumbling and falling, especially when your vision needs to adapt to new parameters. (I hope that word works here; I cant think of another, better one.)

Even my lil guy throwing himself at me was a little scary, because of the jolting jostling thing, but hey, it's good to be missed!
