No Longer Violating the Law of Gravity...

After a couple of days of having food do a U-Turn and go back from whence it came, I am finally keeping fluids down. After a lovely 3 1/2 hour "cruise" down to Ypsilanti for a 30-minute appointment I am back and feeling much better.

It turns out I just have some temporary inflammation. (I would like to make some "inflammatory" remarks about the 7 hour drive vs the 30-minute appointment, but that would be whining, and "whine" isn't on my list of things I can have yet.)

I had to have nothing from midnight on in case they had to an endoscopy - to open up the intestine just after the "pouch". Getting fluids and protein back into my dissipating diaphragm has given me new energy.

Still, I am glad I went as I felt much more assured and was able to pick up some high protein supplements that are clear and not milk-based. You do need to dilute with water or you will grow hair where it has never grown before. Just trust me on that...

Now, where is my razor?
