NOMS!

Ohai Y'all

Hope you guys had a super fantastic Friday! I spent Thursday and today working and further bracing for surgery. Yesterday I started to makeover my crutches (pictures soon) and today I got my disability forms and I formulated my post-op grocery list.

After surgery I'm usually sick to my stomach and I lose my appetite for about 3-4 days. What food I do eat is usually on the bland side. I figured I'd share my list with y'all... maybe it'll be useful to someone

1) Ice Pops - If I need to be intubated during surgery, my throat will hurt like a mofo for a few days. Ice Pops (or Italian Ices) definitely help sooth a sore throat. Unfortunately ice cream is too heavy to do any service here :(

2) Ginger Ale - It has a tiny bit of flavor, and it helps with tummy issues... gotta love it

3) Coca-Cola - NOT PEPSI, Coke syrup helps with nausea

4) Bread & Butter - A classic "my tummy will kill me if I eat, but I have to eat" meal

5) Saltines - The classic "I think I'm gonna hurl I need to eat something" cracker

6) Turkey - When my appetite starts to pick up, Turkey is bland enough to not upset anything

7) Cereal (I like Cheerios) - Great for when you want a little nosh

That's about it there, do you guys have any post-op noms you wanna share?

Fanny will be removed in about 4 days, and I'm still not nervous. It's probably because I've been occupied with work, and said work has been really enjoyable. Keeping busy definitely helps the nerves. I'll be veeerrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyy busy on Monday so hopefully that'll keep the jitters at bay. If not, Monday night I'll take a handy dandy valium and that should do the trick! I have some potential plans to keep busy this weekend, gonna try and get out of the house for as long as possible... cause I'm pretty much gonna be spending the next 3 weeks at home.

I need to start coming up with things to do while I'm stuck in the house. Can any of you guys recommend and good movies or TV shows to watch? I have just been informed that the best show of the 90's "Dinosaurs" is on Netflix in it's entirety, that should take up a few days ;) The main thing I'll be doing is spreading the word about my Scentsy Fundraiser. If you guys could pretty please spread the word with me it would mean a lot :) You can now grab the button for the fundraiser and put it on your own blogs! (again, if anyone has a charity they want me to promote, hit me up)

A word to my local readers, I will be having a physical scentsy party on September 29th. Email me if y'all would like some info on that!

Well, that's about it for tonight, have a great weekend everybody!

I happened to be checking out some other awesome cripple's blog when I noticed that it is "National (Health) Blog Post Month". 30 posts in 30 days seems interesting. When I saw this I thought two things, the first being "I WANNA PARTICIPATE", the second being "CRAP I'M ALREADY A DAY LATE!". Oh well, better late than never. Today's blog topic is...
My TV Show. Your blog is being turned into a TV show! Congrats – you’ve earned it. In fact, you get to co-write it. Write about the TV show based on your life or blog.
Okay, if I had a TV show it would totally be about my life. I think it should animated, because let's face it, the best shows are animated. It would focus on the two main places I spend my time home and work. The work portion would be kinda like "The Drew Carey Show". This part would be the rag-tag bunch of WoW playing, reddit reading, graphic designers vs. the world. Expect lots of internet humor and cats. The home portion would be like any family sitcom. We've got the two loving parents, the live in eccentric grandma who tells dirty jokes, the little sister who gets you into some comedic situation, and a bunch of pets. The twist is that the pets are actually EVIL and are plotting to destroy the world. Sad thing is... this is only a mild exaggeration of my life.

Here's my idea for the pilot- After a long day of secretly incorporating troll faces and cats into all of my work, Crippie returns home to find that her guinea pig Frida has transformed into an evil GUINEA BEE. We spend the next 10 minutes trying to find and bring Frida back to her natural state, eventually finding that a few slices of pepper are all it takes to make her happy. I smell EMMYS!
