Oh what a feeling...!

Yesterday reminded me of that old Toyota ad...but it wasn't a car that gave me the 'Oh what a feeling' moment. It was  just how things had gone during the day that promoted a feeling of achievement and well-being. 

It all started with breakfast...for 10 days it had been natural unflavoured yogurt with store bought fruit purée. Given the okay from the Specialist on Thursday, commencing on the weekend, I could start to eat a larger variety of foods...yes Free Fluid Diet has ended!!! 

So I started with puréed rolled oats,yoghurt and some mango and blueberries that I had puréed. Just a small helping, but so nice!!

On the previous diet, I was allowed to eat eggs by having them in an Egg Flip, but as I left the sugar out of the mix, they were just okay...

But yesterday I could start eating soft scrambled egg...so I did! With mashed avocado.

Pre operation, I would often have sourdough toast with avocado for breakfast, but bread is off the menu for a good while apparently. But the egg and avo yesterday morning was wonderful, even without the toast!

For dinner I had a small bowl of puréed vegies instead of that thin soup I've been eating.

Best of all, I had no discomfort at all during the day, after eating the more solid food. I've been so fortunate that I haven't had any trouble swallowing either, which can be a problem after this op. 

Remember the granny squares I was working on when I came home from hospital? 

Well yesterday all the squares became a small blanket...another one for K4BN.

All finished; even the ends are woven in. Eleven of the squares are leftovers from my previous finish...

3 squares are donated ones that I've enlarged and the other 16 are ones I've made from scratch using up my yarn scraps. So another feeling of achievement!

Today I have some stitching planned, so I must stop procrastinating and get started on that!
