Eat Crap=Feel Like Crap

The eating whole foods diet has been going great...great that is except for yesterday.

On Monday my mom had hip replacement surgery.  I had been lamenting the fact that I was sure that I would not be able to visit her because what would I do with the children.  I kept imagining driving down to the hospital (which is three hours away), being stopped at the nurse's station by Nurse Ratchet and being told that I could not bring my children to visit their grandmother.  At that point I would have had no choice but to response with a confident, "Well, you are all certified nurses.  I feel safe leaving them with you.  There's fruit leather in the diaper bag and I wouldn't let the two year old out of the stroller if I were you.  Good luck!"  And then walking briskly down the hall.

However, this hospital does not have a limit on the age or quantity of those visiting the infirmed.  So, off we went to visit GG.  On the way down we picked up KFC and then after a lovely visit, we got Burger King for dinner.  I literally feel like there is sludge moving through my body.  I think today I am going to eat nothing but fruits and veggies while drinking copious amount of water just to start to feel right again.

Back to our visit though, the kids thought it was great.  They got to lounge on the hospital bed and, as Rachel put it, "We got to see GG and we got to watch Disney channel.  It was a lot of fun."  My mom is on her way home today.  I warned her that she needed to make sure that this was the model of hip that she wanted because the minute she drove it out of the hospital parking lot, it would lose all its re-sale value.
