Pushing It

I definitely pushed it too far with the food today!  I decided to try something different after talking to my Mom yesterday.  She suggested I try eating a dish called Cheeseburger Pie - it is something I always cooked for Mom and Don when I was in high school, and cook it every once in a while for my family.  It is basically a quiche with ground beef and cheese.  I thought after eating the chicken salad yesterday that I was ready for some food that wasn't so blended.  Wrong!  While eating it I could tell that it wasn't going down so well.  It was actually hurting a bit even though I was chewing the heck out of it.  Then after finishing it I started sweating profusely.  Now, while that is normal for me to sweat profusely there was really no reason for it at the time other than my stomach rebelling against what I just put in it.  I proceeded to turn the fan on high and I sat on the edge of the couch just waiting for the weird feeling in my neck telling me I was going to throw up.  Well, I never did throw up, but my stomach hurt for quite a while and it was definitely touch and go for about 45 mins!  Then to top off that experience I received a phone call from Geoff, and I told him about it and he lectured me for a few minutes!  :)  What can I say, I deserved that one!  He did make some good points about my stomach not being healed, and that is the reason to stay on the blended diet, because it would be awful if the stitches/staples in my new stomach ripped and I had to go back to the hospital.  Point taken! 

Even though in the past if I had taken my Moms advice more than I did I would have saved myself a lot of trouble, well this was definitely not one of those times!  Sorry Mom!  It was a good lesson though on being patient with all of this!  If I couldn't handle Cheeseburger Pie then I definitely can't handle that Beefy Burrito from Taco Bell I've been craving!  :)
