I guess I'm not 100%

Ever feel like your being kind of tough on yourself. I have been having some "post-surgery" issues and I have been ignoring them...until last night. ****skip to the next paragraph if you don't want TMI**** Certain foods just aren't sitting well with me, mostly foods that are harder to digest like rich cheese, red meat, lettuce, greasy or fried foods. I have only had fried food once since surgery and that came up within minutes after eating it. Otherwise if it is something that isn't sitting well I am usually in pain, doubled-over and uncomfortable. It usually takes a couple hours but it all comes "out". Well I knew this might be a side effect, but it's gotten so bad that my bottom looks like I have diaper rash and I was in the bathroom most of last night. Gross I know! I guess I can't keep ignoring it though. I just don't want any set backs.

So yesterday was a good day, work went really quick, although I did find out that I am sharing an office with a little black mouse, yuck! I got home early to stretch out before softball and the game went great. We played from 6-8 pm and I didn't do too bad. I hit 4 times and made it on base twice (the other two hits were pop-ups that were caught). I played outfield in one game and then catcher in the second game. I didn't make any amazing plays, but I had fun and definitely got a nice little work-out.

I did end up going out for a beer and Mexican with the team after the game. I ordered the grilled chicken burrito and only ate a little bit of it (stomach issues). I brought the rest home for Derek.

So, as promised, I have posted my menu from yesterday. I didn't have the exact NI for my dinner so I just found something close to what it was. Today is all planned out, I bought the ingredients to make buffalo chicken pizza for dinner...mmmm!!!

Hey thanks for the comment on my blog about the moving thing. You probably had no idea how much I would need to read that today - hehe!! We have actually found a house and are making an offer on it this afternoon and I was starting to get stressed. Reading your comment helped me to remember that we will be fine and how much I will enjoy being in that new house before baby comes. Thanks for always knowing what to say!!

P.S. I have some stomach issues too and anything leafy is going to be hard to digest. I also have a hard time with brocoli and cabbage....those 2 are not my friends but I love them! Hope you feel better soon and your diaper rash clears up! Sorry - had to...LOL

I'm sorry you're going through physical stuff too. It stinks doesn't it? Any time for a nice bath this evening? That might help soothe your rash, not to mention give you a few moments of peace. Take care of yourself.

I'm behind in my reading--can you tell?!? ;)

I have heard of several people who have had their gallbladder taken out and they have the same "issues". Not sure if it's a side effect of the surgery or what. I HOPE you can get it all figured out soon though. And the "rash" gets cleared up too.

Oh and good to hear about your kitty!! I know you don't want to get rid of him, but marking in a new home is unacceptable (to me anyway!). :)
