Recovering from a big surgery has been like crawling through a cave of ick. Yay that cancer is out of my body! Yet this has been the hardest part of the healing experience.
The new, slimmer Ed model is looking great! You're taking this as well as can be expected. I'm sure the barf tunnel is painful, too. We're so sorry. This, too, shall pass. One day... you'll wake up and feel... normal!!!! Looking forward to that glorious day! Sending you light, love, energy, and even better health.
Uggg...I'm sorry to hear about the relentlessness of this! Just barfing once freaks me out! You are a rock star Ed. I turned 50 the day you went under the knife. I kept picturing your super sweet 50th at the beach. And I must admit when your name pops into my current world, the moment that comes with it is of turning my head and watching you next to me in the audience in Santa Cruz when Rowena was on stage and spoke a line about being in love with someone who has that funny front tooth. The look on your face was heart throbbing awe for her :)
I think of you a lot these days and am certainly rooting for you hard core from the quiet sidelines. If you are ever interested in trying homeopathy to help with the nausea and surgery recovery, wound healing let me know. I'd be happy to try my hand at it now that I have about 2 decades of experience under my belt. I love you Ed...maybe the light at the end of the barf tunnel will come with daylight savings when the daylight gets longer...that's only a week away!
What a beautiful comment, Melanie! Thx for sharing those memories. Heart throbbibg awe for Rowena continues...grows! Yes to taking you up on homeopathy. I'll reach out!
Edward, never heard of the barf tunnel. I thought you were being literal ... and you were. So who is this friend who claims it comes with breakups? I would have to say he (or she) is as wrong as daylight at 3am. Man Ed, I DO NOT WANT YOUR PAIN, you are experiencing like... something I dont even want to imagine. I only have itsy bitsy heartbreak -- which is bad bad enough. Very bad, but no barf tunnel. Tunnel yes, no barf. I guess it is two kinds of pain Ed, physical and ..... um... something else, mental??? Tearful? No barf. But I also wanted to say that I am at about 192-195 and keep trying back for 185 or 182... but it just cannot happen. No alcohol, excercising - walking, healthy eating...but it just doesnt happen. WTF man? OTOH, I dont want to get there by your method. I am not sure what weight you would like to be at, but at some later date you might be 195 and..... that isnt the greatest either. Hmm, what am saying? We should be careful what we wish for, we might get it? Maybe? We each wish for what the other person has??? hmmm, sort of but not quite either. The grass is greener on the other side of the open septic tank? But the only way you can get there is to go THROUGH the septic tank. Yes, I ll settle for that one. Ed, you are brave enough and right now slogging through the open septic tank. Me, I am standing on the edge of a much smaller one, but still have to walk through it .... and I aints doing that. So... kudos and respect to you Ed. You are the man!!!!! You are doing it!!!!!!
Max, the septic tank slog works for me as a metaphor! The weight questions are hard. I'm now down to 158. And I'm trying to eat more (amid having very little appetite)!
Have you tried any of the calorie-counting apps/tools, like Noom? It helped me in the past lose weight.
Thanks for the encouraging words overall, Max. I'm going to keep slogging through the tunnel/tank! 😀

We cheer you on - Always!

Glad to see you! Your gift to me: Quit the belly-aching over the small stuff!
I hope to remember that lesson too, Stefanie!
