Still no return call. I believe that since I am not symptomatic we will likely address this at my next scheduled appointment in about two months.
Now Monday, I did just what most of the websites said would make me sick, that is, I ate a cheeseburger, with mayo on it. All that fat is hard for your body to process. I drank extra coffee all day, and we also had tomato basil soup, which was very acidic.
Bob and I both had some problems with that combination. He does mustard instead of mayo, though.
So yesterday I took it kind of easy, ate more carefully. Chewed papaya enzyme tablets, and rested more. I stayed hydrated. Today I have been great.
I have most of the peaches taken care of. My early estimate of being 1/3 done was way off. We will keep some in the fridge for snacking.
I also mowed some.
Vacuumed some and moved furniture while Bob took a nap.
We had fresh peaches with ice cream for an afternoon snack.
Like I said, Bob took a late nap, and I vacuumed in the living room and started rearranging some furniture. I like him to not be present while I do those things.
We may or may not be spectators of fireworks on Friday. We hear them every night, but people at the county lake usually put on a good show.
My shower felt great, and I will stay up just a bit longer to let my hair dry. Good night to all, see you tomorrow.

Food is such an issue. I have learned that as we get old we must be careful of how we treat our digestive systems. I eat such a weird diet.
Enjoy your fireworks. I watch mine on TV. All over the world.

That may be our choice. It is so hot and humid outside.

I'm glad you're feeling better today... And you're right, that was a lot of fat and acid to dump in your stomach at once... As long as you feel okay, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I vacuumed my bedroom this morning and did some other chores around the house but couldn't see very well. I'm hoping I can see tomorrow. I really need to run some errands.
We're hearing loud booms every night but don't go looking to see what is being set off.
Have a good night.

@GardenGerty Apparently, I wasn't seeing very well at all. Pretty went though and vacuumed my bedroom again for me. At least she said the dishes I washed looked fine.
I still haven't put my bedroom back together after moving everything into the living room so the construction guys could work in here. I've only moved a few boxes back in... I was exhausted so have napped off and on between the fireworks.
I've done the dishes again and am thinking about reading for a while.

He gets his feelings hurt when I do not like what he does. I get my feelings hurt when he tells me I can't do something, but I know I can.

I am trying to use my head about things. Also got rid of a couple of stressful tasks. Getting rid of stress helps.

I don't know if we can all wait 2 months to be sure you're OK. I hope you and Bob are feeling OK.

I'm sure those fresh peaches are so delicious. Hope you're both feeling better.

We do feel much better. Bob does not usually eat a whole lot and this was just a bad combination for him. I eat too much and too often.
