FGB(06:30) - 7.9

This is really messed up.Can barely rise to stand with cane.Had to go to the really big guns,soma plus oxycodone every 6 hrs,Im a total zombie mush brain but I can stand.Slept 6 hrs,thats huge.All i can do is meds and wait to resolve,BTDT,have several t-shirts.One hand,1 finger typing,this is so screwed up.

Listening to classic audiobooks on youtube......starship troopers,around the world in 80 days,I can sort of follow them,videos out of the question,cant concentrate enough.

Other foods until.....
2200-Grapefruit
0300-Steak and asparagus with butter
0330-Ate a pint of cornuts-yes,this is really messed up.Almost done with them,wont buy more,get pork scratchings instead for non cooked foods.
1600-12.5 hrs fast.1 boiled egg,1 radish while lying on floor.Dogs sympathetic,good doggies.
1830-Cauliflower and green beans with butter,reallly good pork chop with fat.
2330-piece of milk chocolate

0615-6.75 hr fast-FBG-5

Will have breakfast when wife gets around to it,no way can I stand long enough to fry an egg and sausage.
Surprised sugars being reasonable.Broke through that 214 lb barrier I was stuck at,213.2 lbs.
Weather 75F.Clear and sunny.Garden looking really well,early plantings doing fine which is big deal in mountain high altitude,shady trees,short growing season.Still have to move 17 pots from greenhouse,if any strong neighbor kids walk by will hire out that job.They weigh about 40 lbs.

Hope today is wonderful for all.

Am happy. It was fish for dinner last night which was a bit too salty - my mistake - but potatoes were under salted (not my mistake). So it was all ok. Monday - back to the grind. I am not terribly excited about it. But it is Ramadhan week and a real short week at work. Have a great week everyone.
