What are some recipes for avocado and lime soup?

[phyzmatix]

Well, at least you seem to be making headway...

Hope it goes in leaps and bounds!

 

[Tsu]

Sis, you are in SUCH deep doodoo. I'd rip you a new one now but I have my Anticoag. appt. and I have to hobble in and wash me face.

We shall talk, dearie. (dumm da dump dum - DUMB!)

 

[GeorginaS]

I'm glad to hear you're making progress, Evo. And glad to hear from you at all. Everyone was very concerned. Someone ought to have been with you post-op. Good heavens. No point in me chewing you out, though, there are people here far better qualified than me to do that.

Keep recovering, 'kay?

 

[Evo]

Sis, you are in SUCH deep doodoo. I'd rip you a new one now but I have my Anticoag. appt. and I have to hobble in and wash me face.

We shall talk, dearie. (dumm da dump dum - DUMB!)

 

[Moonbear]

No point in me chewing you out, though, there are people here far better qualified than me to do that.

Yeah, Tsu and I will take care of that. As soon as Tsu gets back from her doctor's appointment, we're going to soup up that walker so she can get over to Evo's place and give her what's for!

 

[binzing]

I assume all the throat pain was because this was done endoscopically, but if not, RESIST THE URGE to scratch your stitches.

 

[Evo]

I assume all the throat pain was because this was done endoscopically, but if not, RESIST THE URGE to scratch your stitches.

No, it was laparoscopic, I have 5 incisions on my abdomen, but a tube was down my throat to inflate my esophagus also, now I have a throat infection.

 

[binzing]

Ouch. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

 

[GeorginaS]

Yeah, Tsu and I will take care of that. As soon as Tsu gets back from her doctor's appointment, we're going to soup up that walker so she can get over to Evo's place and give her what's for!

See? Far, far better qualified people than me.

P.S. Evo, take good care.

 

[Andre]

Yoohoo, Evo, you're late. I guess we're not there yet?

Do take care and all the best

 

[Borek]

Pacing again, eh?

 

[Tsu]

Oh, Eeeeevvoooooo!

You hava a phone message!

And a PM!

And here's another one! CALL ME! I PM'd you my phone number (in case you've lost it you know... like... LOST it...?? ...oh, ok. [/weirdness]).

Don't be avoiding me now. We need to talk, sweet cheeks.

 

[Evo]

Got it! I will be calling in a bit, I CAN NOT miss Hell's Kitchen season finale, and I just took some pain medication, seems my body was just teasing me earlier, thinking I was alright. Now I have a low fever, sweating, bad headache, throat sore and a spider bit me and it's swelling up! Or maybe it was that assasin bug. <blows nose>

 

[Moonbear]

Now I have a low fever, sweating, bad headache, throat sore and a spider bit me and it's swelling up!

Get back to the doctor! You should NOT still be running a fever, and the sweating and headache are not good signs either. You have yourself a real infection there and need treatment.

 

[Evo]

Get back to the doctor! You should NOT still be running a fever, and the sweating and headache are not good signs either. You have yourself a real infection there and need treatment.

Yep, going tomorrow. Do not let me blow it off if I wake up feeling better again.

 

[GeorginaS]

Yep, going tomorrow. Do not let me blow it off if I wake up feeling better again.

I'm quoting you on that.

 

[OmCheeto]

Yep, going tomorrow. Do not let me blow it off if I wake up feeling better again.

I'm divesting of my silver stocks and plan on investing a lot on hippie fudge next weekend.

Sleep young child! Rest!

 

[Evo]

Someone help me! I had a salad (the nurse told me I could eat soft food if I chewed it very well and had lots of liquids with it). I must have eaten too much because now I am dying. I need to wrap my stomach in something before it explodes. And I only ate a small bowl of it. It was so tasty. I couldn't stop.

It's the Evo Child's fault, she not here and she left me with food. Yummy food. She knows I can't be trusted.

And she took my camera to take pictures of kittens her friend is auditioning. I want my camera back.

Oh no! Are you just over stressing your just-operated-on stomach, or is it something worse? I think you should go to the hospital, seriously, call someone or an ambulance. The fever is reason enough, but you don't want to test how strong the sutures in your stomach are!

 

[Evo]

I'll be ok, I just realized too late that most of the things in this salad cause gas. <Evo smacks forehead>

 

[lisab]

I'll be ok, I just realized too late that most of the things in this salad cause gas. <Evo smacks forehead>

Oh no no...did they, perchance, install a release valve...?

 

[Evo]

Oh no no...did they, perchance, install a release valve...?

no

Guess I won't be eating greens and beans again anytime soon.

 

[Tsu]

I'll be ok, I just realized too late that most of the things in this salad cause gas. <Evo smacks forehead>

How can you be dying when I just got off the freakin' phone with you!??111111 Here. Let ME smack your forehead for you!111 Good GRIEF, woman! Mom was right. You really AREN'T the brightest bulb in the box, are you?

I'm going to call you in the morning to make sure that you've got a Dr.s appt.

Oh yeah. Moonbear, MIH! I got the girls phone numbers! I'll PM them to ya, just in case I fall and break my other hip and can't follow up on our lame one! Oh. Wait. I'M the lame one. She's just being DUMB!111111 (go to the doctor)

EVO!11 Get away from that SALAD! NOW!1111111

 

[lisab]

Well can you, um, burp? Like on purpose? That may help to relieve some pressure.

 

[Evo]

As soon as we got off the phone I snarfed down my salad while watching Alton Brown do things to fish. :shy:

 

[Math Is Hard]

I'll be ok, I just realized too late that most of the things in this salad cause gas. <Evo smacks forehead>

Good heavens! Can you not behave yourself even for the first week? I'm pretty sure the soft food rule was for things like cottage cheese and oatmeal, and not salad! Thank heavens the Evo child didn't leave you a pot of 5-alarm chili!

Do you want to explode like the Monty Python guy that has the after dinner mint?

 

[Evo]

Well can you, um, burp? Like on purpose? That may help to relieve some pressure.

Trying.

 

[Tsu]

no

Guess I won't be eating greens and beans again anytime soon.

No. You won't. And you'll be wanting to stay away from saurkraut, too. They should have given you a piece of paper called an instruction sheet when you left the hospital that tells you what you can eat and what you should avoid. Did you READ IT? Are you following your instructions? You whacko. You need a babysitter.

I'll talk to you in the morning. xoxo

On the way to the hospital she had to make me spit out a breath mint. She was all upset, "are you crazy? You can't eat those before surgery!". The nurse said she was right, they create saliva and even the amount of saliva could cause serious problems. But my mouth was dry.

 

[Tsu]

Trying.

baking soda? NO. WAIT. If you do that DON'T use too much. I can just see you ODing on baking soda and exploding in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

 

[Evo]

No. You won't. And you'll be wanting to stay away from saurkraut, too. They should have given you a piece of paper called an instruction sheet when you left the hospital that tells you what you can eat and what you should avoid. Did you READ IT? Are you following your instructions? You whacko. You need a babysitter.

The sheet is so vague, it only specifically warns against bread and meat which could get stuck and choke you. It says to eat small amounts of soft food with liquids 6 times a day.

Oh, I was going to make coleslaw. Oooh, cabbage, not a good idea, thanks Tsu!

I'll talk to you in the morning. xoxo

Ok.

 

[Evo]

baking soda? NO. WAIT. If you do that DON'T use too much. I can just see you ODing on baking soda and exploding in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

I'm not allowed to drink anything carbonated.

I didn't see any reference to baking soda, maybe you edited before I saw Tsu's post...? Baking soda would be really bad for you now. Remember how it reacts with vinegar? baking soda + acid (such as stomach acid) gives off CO₂ - you don't need a bunch of gas in your stomach now. Don't eat any baking soda...promise?!?

Isn't that how kids make volcanos for junior high science projects?

 

[Tsu]

No, lisab, see, if you tell Evo to DO something, she WON'T do it. She NEVER does what she thinks might be good for her. She's your Basic Bad to the Bone kind of girl. She's got a worse stubborn streak than me, and I'm BAD. Watch.

Hey, Evo. I take it back. No. Really! Go ahead and take LOTS of baking soda. Yeah. Several tablespoons of it in a half cup of water. It'll make you burp SO GOOD... You'll feel SO much BETTER... Evo, you'd better know that I'm just teasing and don't you DARE start doing what i tell you to do NOW you goofball - you never 'listened' to me before, now is NOT the time to start!

 

[Danger]

Yeah, Evo... half a dozen gel capsules of baking soda with a vinegar chaser will clear everything up...
I love you to bits, girl, and I'm sorry that I didn't tune into this thread earlier. Be well, even if it restricts your lifestyle. You're the heart of PF.

 

[GeorginaS]

I cannot believe I just read the posting I've read. Evo, I hope you're sleeping. Listen to Tsu, MIH, and lisab, Moonbear, and stop it. Don't make me come over there. Wherever there might be.

 

[Borek]

Well can you, um, burp? Like on purpose? That may help to relieve some pressure.

Could be that she can't, to some extent that's what the operation was for.

Somehow I feel relieved now that I know that sisterhood have Evo phone... Pressure is on her now

 

[fuzzyfelt]

Hope you are feeling better

 

[Moonbear]

Yep, going tomorrow. Do not let me blow it off if I wake up feeling better again.

Okay, it's now tomorrow. Get thee to thine doctor!

I can't believe you ate a salad! When they say soft food, think Jell-o, pudding, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes. If it requires chewing or is high in fiber, STAY AWAY! Now get to the doctor before the only food you're able to eat will be injected via I.V. line.

And tell Evo Child to stop playing with kittens and get over there to watch out for you.

 

[Kurdt]

mm mushed up baked potato with cheese.

What Moonbear said.

 

[Evo]

Ok, I have a Dr's appointment this afternoon. My doctor was full so I'm seeing Dr Gore. This sounds ominous.

Ok, how does this sound, a Hardees angus Thickburger on sourdough bread with beef broth, run through the blender.

don't forget to add in the cottage cheese and the jello

Steak tartare is what I would call soft.

Only if you're just planning on sniffing it. Just avoid the Food Thread entirely. I'm sure that is one of the hardest parts of recovery, seeing and smelling yummy food and knowing you can't touch it.

Just to be careful, I've relocated the sisterhood's chocolate stash to a new, undisclosed location (I just hope Cheney isn't eating it all when I'm not looking). You're not being told where it is or given a key until you have a clean bill of health and doctor's note telling us you are allowed to eat solid foods again.

 

[Tsu]

I just called her cell and she didn't answer. So I left a message telling her she'd better be at her Dr.s office or she's in REALLY DEEP doodoo.

 

[Evo]

I just got home from the doctor, Tsu you called while I was there.

I am on a Z-Pak, so I should be better in a day or two. They tested for strep and it was negative.

You can't just cut it into very small pieces?

Eat meat with some slices of kiwi fruit. Kiwi fruit contains enzymes that break down proteins. I know this from experience when I marinated some steak with slices of kiwi. The outer surface made for nice gravy.

so, what DID they say?----"looks like your throat is irritated--here are some pills."?
