Fri 24 May

We has been colonoscopied. I got the green light for 10 years, and Dad had one polyp removed so he has to repeat in 5-10. The staff and doctor were very nice and appeared very competent. They gave us a little lunch bag with half a turkey sandwich (on whole wheat, yay!), a small dish of chicken dumpling soup, and a cookie and bottle of water. I scarfed the sandwich waiting for Kathy H to pick us up and had the soup while making a bowl of oatmeal. I didn't really even have broth or jello after lunch yesterday. A pint of Sprecher's root beer was about the only caloric thing I had after noon. Today is for rest and relaxation. Tomorrow for an early start to the Farmer's Market to look for tomato plants and herbs. Sunday/Monday for Cedarburg. Hope your road trip is lots of fun. Power was down for awhile in just part of the house this afternoon - of course the part of the house that runs the computers and TV. I laid on the couch recuperating from the procedure/anesthesia and reading an ebook on my phone. Too tired to run upstairs for the Kindle. It's a fun book about a middle-aged couple who are traveling to all the national parks, and it's quite enjoyable. I'm still feeling the effects of messing up my digestive tract, so it feels good to lay low. We did walk to Olympic for fish for dinner to get a little exercise on a lovely day without being too strenuous. Food: 10:45 am 1/2 turkey sandwich on whole wheat, 2/3 c chicken dumpling soup, chocolate chip cookie, Laura's oatmeal w/flaxseed meal, protein powder, 1/2 c wild blueberries, 2 oz skim milk, 1/4 large cantaloupe 2:00 pm Dark chocolate sea salt caramel, 1 pc Whitman's chocolates 6:00 pm 5 oz broiled walleye filet, 1 oz fried perch, 1/3 c potato salad, 1 tbl tartar sauce, 1 tsp melted butter, 1/2 c canned corn, small tossed salad, 1/2 pc chocolate layer cake
