Ever since I returned from the nursing home, I have lagged
behind. Not only have I been slow,
filled with an unfathomable ennui, but graced with constant mild nausea. I ate, I got ill. The last few days, I didn’t just get sick, I
fell asleep. Continually.
Instead of bringing me my usual Weight Watchers breakfast
yesterday, The Great Geezer brought me bread and butter. I felt really good. Revitalized.
I walked to the library only stopping twice. I took a jaunt to the store to get more
pictures for our Facebook page, then I came home and redesigned the living
room. Not a nap in sight.
No yogurt or even cereal with rice milk for breakfast. I took one Tylenol with my bread. No commercial anything for lunch. Just bread and butter. Baked potato for dinner. Simple stuff.
I will try bread and butter for a week, plus or minus, and
see how I feel. I’ve been allergy reaction
free for so long that I’d almost forgotten my food allergies…except for the
eggs. I’ve been reaction free for so
long that even G doesn’t recognize them.
Life is Really in the

So, you feel better on a prison diet...good for you! We all should do that once in a while.
ReplyDeleteMe too. Ennui. Two or three naps a day. I started thinking I might be spiking my blood glucose. I still don't know, but I have an annual physical at the end of the month. I still think I have issues from the cyst that abscessed last month.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear you are feeling more energetic. Must be the bread and butter. Lol.
ReplyDeleteBread and butter - the staples of life! You go!
ReplyDeleteI think the nursing home/rehab is a bad thing...germs, depressing and too much lying around. I am happy I skipped it. I too have had mild nausea and am now off Vicodin and on Tylenol.
ReplyDeleteWrote you a long response to the health care thing on my post Looks like CA has the exchange thing for the ACA working well if we are to believe reports here. Jerry Brown for president?
I too am eating simply so I can simply eat. Bread and butter...staff of life.
So good to read that you are feeling better and more wide-awake. Enjoy that bread and butter!
ReplyDeleteKeep trying to figure it out. Sounds like you might be on to something.
ReplyDeleteRYN on my feminism post - loved it. :)
So glad you found a solution to the way you were feeling. I hope it continues to work.
ReplyDeleteA relative's battle with food allergies was epic. Hope you will be able to gradually add in more foods that treat you well!
