Too tired to knit?

Surgery on Thursday, knitting on Friday. All good. Then Saturday happened. Either I had a bad angina attack, or I had heartburn. Or both. Either way, I felt pretty bad Saturday morning and got bumped back over to the ICU. By Sunday morning (today), I felt much better, thank heavens. I have managed to do a bit of knitting today on a super simple headband pattern called Twist Engelsk by Rilleruth. And Libby and I listened to a short story on Audible, which felt comforting. She made me a chickpea ragout and brought it hot to the hospital, but I couldn’t eat a lot of it. It tasted good to me when I made it last week. Then I “cheated” tonight by having some avocado spread on a Jimmy Johns veggie sandwich. I seriously doubt that bread is 100% whole wheat. It tasted pretty good, though, and it was certainly better than virtually anything on the UH menu. This morning, I asked for oatmeal with dried fruit. It came with no fruit and two pats of butter. Thankfully they were served on the side. I could really use some help with this diet. I need a support group! Hmmmm.

Still to come is my homemade white balsamic-based mustard dressing. I don't think I even told her what to me is the craziest part. This isn't just any salad. This is a one-pound salad. I've been doing this for two weeks, but today is the first time I weighed up one pound of greens and cruciferous vegetables before adding the fruit that makes this all possible. Also, today is the first time in two weeks that it occurred to me to put ground flax seeds in it. Duh. It took ...
