You know what they say about things happening in three’s. Well I just had my #3 yesterday. It started a month or so ago, when I went to the hospital with chest pains that wound up being due to stress. Then there was the shoulder pain a few weeks ago due primarily to tendinitis. And then yesterday I had dental surgery where I had a number of teeth pulled. So this is it. I’ve had my #3.

Fortunately, the dental surgery seems to have gone well and I’m not in a whole lot of pain. The bad part is that I will be on a ‘soft’ diet until my gums heal — about 12 weeks from now. Not looking forward to that. Think I’ll be eating a lot of fish, pasta, yogurt, cottage cheese and soup….oh, and oatmeal in the morning! I’m going to go to the grocery tomorrow to see what else I can come up with… The worst part is seeing all kinds of ads on tv for food. Hopefully this will all be over by June and I’ll once again be able to enjoy all those summer goodies cooked on the grill.
