Dreams

The past couple of nights I have been having some interesting dreams. They have all be about FOOD, of course. Food that I can not eat right now. (I know you guys are probably tired of reading about my surgery, but I have nothing else going on right now!) My food dreams have been interesting because I don't think I have ever dreamed about food before, but since I can't eat a lot of things right now...I have been dreaming about it!

Two nights ago, I dreamed (dreamt...weird) that I was eating barbecue...probably from Thomas Pit. The weird thing is that my mouth was banded shut still. Somehow I pushed the meat to the back of my mouth and was able to use my back teeth to chew. This is really not possible.

Last night, I dreamed that we had this immaculate kitchen. In this kitchen was a huge freezer....think grocery store...that's exactly what it looked like. Anyway, I reach in to the freezer and pull out some salmon (I love salmon!!). Then I marinate it in honey mustard and coat it with cashews...put it in a pan and cook it up. Then I make this amazing looking salad and dressing then place the salmon on top. AFTER I have done all of this, I realize...I can't eat this! Then I woke up. Nice, huh? Well, I would love to say that I made up a new recipe in my dream, but if my mom is reading this she would know that's not true. We were watching the Food Network the other day and they made that on one of the shows. Didn't forget that one!!

Progress Update: Since my last post I took a little turn for the worse for about a day and 1/2. Monday night got really bad. I have just had such bad nausea that I could not eat anything. Then my stomach got so empty that it was making me more nauseous. Anyway- let's just say Aaron had a lot to deal with! Sorry Aaron! My mind and stomach just really got the better of me. At that point, I was just thinking that I never should have done this. BUT..keep reading it gets better!....Tuesday morning my mom got me in to see the surgeon. They took my stitches out and gave me some medicine for nausea. I have been eating/drinking every since! We had a lot of visitors yesterday...thank you! A friend brought me some great soup and Aaron's mom brought me some chicken broth. I am finally finding some things I can eat that taste good and work! Aaron went to Rosies and got some tortilla soup. We strained it so I could have the broth and Aaron ate the chicken and veggies. It was wonderful!! Who knew I would still be able to have Rosies!!
