John made tri tip

for dinner last night. he marinated it for 24 hours in Chakas sauce. we also had bbq'd corn with a mild mexican seasoning rubbed on it and baked beans. he qued a piece of bacon then chopped it up and put it in the beans to add to the flavor. as the tri tip ws q-ing, I could smell it all the way back in the sewing room. i had a project started and since i would just be sitting, I started working on it. the entire house smelled like heaven.

then, I finally got to eat. I was really enjoying my meal and was almost done when I started getting this mind numbing pain in my side. John asked me if I was ok and all I could muster was "It hurts". I ended up back in bed with a heating pad on my shoulder from gas that had made its way from my tummy area up there. my surgery area was burning. what the hell??????

Then John came in and told me they had told him to avoid spicey food. he felt so bad and was doing everythng he could to make me feel better. I didnt think it was spicey. I dont care for spicey. I think they should rephrase that and say avoid food with flavor. I had to take two pain killers to relax me enough to ignor the pain. Ok, I have learned my lesson. its soup from now on. i may add some rice, but no flavor. John felt so bad, but he didnt realise that would happen. it sure was good though.

i may blog some more of my strange experiences here. it helps me to remember if I write things down. and i can go back and recall if I try and forget. so that is my note for today. Im taking this day a little easier.
