Alright so you may have noticed I haven't posted for a while. Well, the reason is that I had a perforated colon and ended up being in the hospital for a few days. Now I'm not allowed to eat anything (I can drink clear liquids, that's it) for over a month! I have to get nutrition through an IV. Bleh. (At least I'm only hooked up mainly at night; I get 8 hours off during the day.)
But still, this really stinks because I really like food. Really like it. I was planning on making ravioli for Christmas dinner but I didn't get to eat on Christmas! I also got an Aebleskiver kit (aebleskivers are like little filled pancakes) for Christmas but I don't get to use it yet. Of course I COULD use it, but I'd kind of like to be able to eat them so I'm waiting until I can. Oh yeah and I want to try making some seitan because I just found out that you can do it at home. And I was planning on getting some big tapioca pearls to make homemade bubble tea. And I just got a jar of homemade pesto from our friend. And I was going to have a cheese tasting for my birthday party! (Did I mention I probably won't be able to eat on my birthday?)
So you can probably tell how frustrating this is for me. Especially when everyone else around me gets to keep eating. (Really good smelling stuff, too.)
I guess I just wanted to kind of vent somewhere. So this works.
I think I'll make a post about all the things I want to eat. At least I can look at the photos.
Chloe I had no idea you couldn't eat solid food! looking at this food here makes MY mouth water and I just ate, don't torture yourself like that! I'm sorry you're having to go through this, I hope you're feeling better though. See you soon.

Wow Chloe, I didn't know about this either. I'm off to keep reading to see how you're doing.
