"Arthritis Quest"

Doctors appointment went well, and with some minor little insurance issues, looks like we’ll be having surgery tomorrow afternoon.

Progress report after the break.

Today’s progress report, like others this week, is going to be a little different, since I don’t have a weight or blood pressure measurement. It’ll mainly be about diet, and I’ll sort of extend the length of this report until I have all three fields to fill in.

Weight: Not measured. Blood Pressure: Not measured. Diet: For lunch, a salad from “Tossed”, one of those custom salad restaurants. I got one with romaine hearts, parmesan cheese, grilled chicken, and walnuts. I don’t like salad dressing, so I got an extra virgin olive oil/lemon juice combo instead, which was overpoweringly lemony.

Dinner was at a nice sushi restaurant nearby, a bottle of wine, asian style calamari, a small spicy tuna hand roll, a couple pieces of salmon sashimi, and a gourmet roll that was basically spicy tuna topped with yellowtail and fish roe. Minimal usage of soy sauce.

Tomorrow, I’m going to eat dinner with my family, including aunts and nephews, at Cheesecake Factory, which for most people is a blow to staying healthy but for me it’s a plus. This is because I absolutely hate cheesecake. I cannot stand even the slightest taste of it. Plus I’m slightly finicky about what I eat, I’ll try anything but my tastes are rather peculiar. So when I go to Cheesecake Factory, I inevitably get the lettuce wraps and a salad, or a pasta dish. This time I’ll try to keep it on the salad edge, unless I’m just dying for a grilled chicken sandwich.
