I’ve caught up on all my blog reading that I’ve been ignoring for the past few weeks, played as much Scramble and Scrabulous that my little heart could desire, and eaten way more than I should have. In fact, this is what I’ve eaten so far today: a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast; fried fish and beet salad for lunch; chicken livers and more beet salad washed down with white wine for dinner.

I’m sporting a light buzz now, but I haven’t forgotten to feed and water my dad so far. He’s doing a bit better after the IV fluids: he had a full bowl of vegetable soup and chicken livers for lunch, and a bowl of fish congee for dinner. He’s had about a full liter of Gatorade and a couple of glasses of apple juice today, so I’m kind of hopeful. He was prescribed a patch for pain control, so we’re waiting for that to kick in–it’s slow-release, so they said 14-24 hours for it to kick in. And it should last 72 hours, so hopefully we’ll be able to get him into surgery on Thursday. No pain = eating & drinking.

For other entertainment, I’ve been watching Barbie, the teacup Yorkie hump my dad’s girlfriend’s foot. Complete with grunting and panting. FUN.
