Office Work.......

[Orchid]

The thing is, I'm mean too. I do make them eat it. I am just SO tired of the complaining, and DH pushed me over the edge about lunch today.

Well, I had one epidural injection but it didn't work and then when my heart doc found out he yelled at me and told me I could have died. His office told me I could stop my meds and do it but apparently it wasn't run by him and he went and reamed some nurse butt. The medical pain managment guy told me that sometimes the shots take 3 shots or 3 -4 times to work and sometimes they don't work but it's the first thing and last resort they try to do before surgery...which I wouldn't be able to have anyway...cuz my heart dr. won't allow me to stop my meds or....well, I'll clot and die. He's so sunshiney when he talks to me.

You need to get all your health care providers talking to each other before one of them kills you.

They are...they're on the same network and my info is on the computer everyone looks at. But the nurses went by...it's been a year since my heart attack...I can stop the meds for 10 days to have epidural. but not so says doc.

I do draw the line in my house with a few things like canned asparagus and canned peas. If I'm at someone elses house I will eat a small amount to be polite. It's not to gag sometimes but I manage.

Now give me fresh peas and fresh asparagus, you better stay out of my way or you'll lose an arm.

I love nurses but they should check with the doctor before making a major decision like that.

I should probably expound a bit more. DH's dad will eat meat and potatoes. That's it. Meat and potatoes. DH's mom is not any kind of an adventurous cook, so while DH was growing up they ate - meat and potatoes. Now, I will be the first to admit that DH has dramatically expanded his palate in the last 17...gosh almost 18 years. But when he doesn't like something, he has this face he makes...and it seems like an inconsequential thing until you've seen that face umpteen times over food that any normal American male should be happy to eat (like chicken breasts with stuffing, swiss cheese and cream of mushroom soup, for instance).

Sigh.

Okay, off my pity party wagon. I know it's really not a big deal. It just gets to me sometimes.

I don't care for cooked peas, either. And when I want asparagus or spinach I always make corn or green beans or broccoli for the three boys.

I'm not totally heartless.

Send my wife the recipe so she can fix me some. I'm feeling chauvinistic today and don't want to cook.

Well I did put some boneless skinless chicken thighs in the crockpot with some minced garlic. Now I need to find a recipe for chicken tacos. Guess I am cooking after all.
