Protein

After the third surgery this year, March 1st, I was told to over consume protein.  And, I have been!  I am so sick of all forms of protein!

I honestly dream at times of  eating salads.  Spinach, cold and hot, any salad with a home made thousand island dressing!, a fresh crab louie, or how about a world class chef salad?  How I long for a beet salad, so common in the fall back home in Switzerland!  I would even settle for the Siberian fur coat I lived on for several months in a land where anything green is unknown ...  (if anyone is interested I do have recipe from my Great-Auunt)

Today, as I often do during the week - I get a ride to local place with acceptable steak and eggs.  As usual, I add sliced tomatoes and avocado.  And my tummy is full and happy but utterly bored with protein! :(

However, the protein approach appears to be working.  In just the passed three weewks my wound has decreased by 65%!  It may well be that I will have or be awfully close to wound closure in the next three weeks!

But, I still have to allow time for the wound scar to thicken and heal.  Then I will be able to start physical therapy again ... and casting ... and a new leg ... and learning to walk all over again!  :)

Yup, my metal detector is gfoing to be up and running by fall!
