Woke up Thanksgiving morning with a bad right side ache, wife was conjested and crooping. Went to the ER up the street they ran test they wrote wife prescriptions and said you can go home, we are putting your husband in hospital. I had a perferated colan. So no dinner for me, Thursday thru monday perferation healed, but I had a cup of broth, some coffee to eat. Lost 10#. Not through yet Had a Dr. appointment the nexxt week for a CT scan, Dr. read it said good news the teaar is gone, bad news you have a time bomb in your colan and we can operate next week under steral conditions or wait for it to explode and take our chances.
Well went to sergury 12/20/21 got out of the hospital 12/23/21 had nothing but broth and coffee lost 10# more . Now on a soft diet and can have nothing I nave to cut up for six weeks, lost 10# more. Forgot to say wife contacted Covid while visiting hospital, I never took it. So all I can say is BAH-Humbug to the holliays
PS I am under 200# for th first time since 1955
