Hi Guys! *waves*

Howdy Doo people!

My blog posts are few and far between these days. I know I know. I've become a horrible blogger!

I FINALLY received my package of delicious treats from Super Gavum today
Thanks Gavin! I really thought they'd been stolen (since someone was stealing ours and our neighbors mail before Christmas) and was so happy to see it hadn't been.
It was lil holey, taped up, and has been traveling about America since December 17 according to the postmark, but I guess some sight seeing was in order. We got our first snow kind of unexpectedly last night. It snowed sideways.
The temperature dropped about 30 degrees over a few hours and suddenly -- snow! It's been quite mild here this winter so far so I suppose it was bound to happen. 
I've been off work all this week due to some not so fun health issues that have suddenly arisen. I was feeling a little 'off' last week but wasn't too concerned. Then we went out to eat Friday night. We ate Mexican. MEXICAN. As in beans, steak, cheese, tomatoes, jalapenos, onions, chips, salsa and guacamole. I wasn't home 10 minutes before the vomit arrived. I lost count but I threw up 35-40 times from 8:30 Friday night to 4am Saturday morning. Not a lot of fun I have to tell ya. And completely wrecked the romance of date night.
But fear not, I was not harboring alien spawn or anything quite so exotic. Turns out my gall bladder is clogged up with some sludge (yes that's the medical term) and inflamed and that high fat meal just pushed it over the edge. So I'm off to meet with a surgeon next Tuesday afternoon and until then I'm on antibiotics and a no fat diet. No dairy, no meats... and no Swedish chocolates! 
Oh well, I don't feel much like eating anyway.
I have become quite the expert on Jello though. So far my favorite is raspberry, followed by cherry.
What is JELL O?
(link for those who don't know what Jello is, nice when your ill)
All I have to say is... they'd better get rid of this no cake digesting evil organ.

EAT ALL THE ANTI BIOTICS!! And stare longingly at the chocolates because you know when you eat them that they're going to taste 1 bajillion times better!

Not that you have an eating disorder Lindsay you just have a NO CAKE ORGAN!!
Must they take the no cake organ out? Can they not make it like cake by removing the sludge and brain-washing it into likely delicious fatty things once more?
Think of the chocolates as your reward at the end of all this. Or, an even better idea, smoke them!
...Yes i have been eating too much Swedish chocolate, and your point iiiiis??!

I think they only remove it as a last resort because without it you will forever be on a no fat no dairy diet!
Mrs. HermitessHermitess # Friday, January 13, 2012 4:19:52 AM
Lucy - CAKE!
Aadil & everyone - its my understanding that they cannot prevent or remove the sludge & its usually a precursor to gall stones. I was told if I keep it I will forever be on a no fat diet with reoccurring flare ups & if I let them take it, its really not missed & I can eat whatever. All by people who have had theirs removed. It's surprised me how many people I know who no longer have theirs. I'm going to see what this other doctor says first, I'm already missing a thyroid! Stop taking my organs!!

But Lindsay, the organ fairy needs them to sell on the black market. You know this. You get your $1 per organ, what more you want?!

I know I'm totally being a baby *sigh*
But on the other hand, if I don't no more cakes and ice cream. My birthdays will be ruined!
And Ew! No gall cakes or tins with gall parts in them

You would be fast asleep and skipping in a happy Lindsay land made of cake during the operation anyway, and when you wake up it will all be done and you can carry on as normal!

I'm guessing you've seen the surgeon by now. Everything ok?
Mrs. HermitessHermitess # Monday, February 6, 2012 9:20:22 PM
I'm still waiting. I saw surgeon #1 and she was very confusing and not helpful. I did another test, a HIDA scan last Wednesday, Feb 1 so we'll know exactly how much of my gall bladder is functioning. I see surgeon #2 on Wed Feb 8.
I'm still having a lot of problems with pain and nausea and still on a mostly no dairy no meat diet. I've had some in small amounts because it's such a strict diet but I have to be careful or I'll anger the gall bladder and it'll punish me!
So outside of working I'm spending my time resting because that seems to help me feel better.

If I keep it I won't ever feel any better & I'm at high risk for it causing problems with my pancreas.
I'm glad, I feel terrible & can't even sit up in a chair with out it hurting from the pressure

I think Lindsay will have her operation this upcoming week, according to that other rag of on-line single-sentence news. In this place we put together complete sentences of proper grammar... Yuh... (except Kirsten Gotadoro; who makes lovely sentences and food dishes wherever she goes).

Having said that, the first new comment on my newsfeed was Bianca's.
Mrs. HermitessHermitess # Sunday, February 12, 2012 5:14:16 PM
No, it wasn't as exciting as spam. I was just dorking around on my blog yesterday reading my ridiculously silly posts and took it off of friends only. I didn't think it'd show up in news feeds again.

Yes, Feb 16! It'll be done outpatient so I will go home the same day and recover in my own comfy bed with my wiggly dogs and Hermit who doesn't know it yet but will be wearing a nurses uniform and little hat. Meworr!
Gavin Tripp-Sheedygarlingmatthews # Sunday, February 12, 2012 7:56:19 PM
To the uniform and hat. Not the op.
But the ops sounds good. Soon, you shall be eating muffins again! MUFFINS!!

If you want to give everyone a heart attack, turn your whole blog private, then turn it public again!

I am not amused.
I will click Mark All As Read and then go through every post of that person and write "bum" as a comment.
Don't mess with me.
