Day 27 - Meal Planning, Survivor-style

You know how, on Survivor, around mid-season, the contestants spend episode after episode driving themselves crazy with talk of the food they are missing and lusting after. I knew it would come to this...as much as I make fun of the Survivor players and as much as I tried to tell myself that I wouldn't let myself fall into this pattern of though, here I am. Visions of Taco Bell dance through my head a dozen times each day.

So, similar to the list I made pre-surgery, I am going to start a post-surgery list of things I will be indulging in as soon as I can. I will add to it as time goes on. Here is the current version, in no particular order:

• Chicken Quesadilla and Supreme Fries (minus the beef) from Taco Bell
  
• Peanut M&Ms
  
• Scalloped Potatoes, Ham and roasted sweet potatoes
  
• glazed croissant from Superstore
  
• raw veggies & dip
  
• chicken nachos
  
• banana
  
• fully-dressed baked potato
  
• bacon double cheeseburger from DQ along with fries from McDs
  
• Turkey dinner with all the fixin's (conveniently, Thanksgiving is a mere 2 weeks after I should be elastic-free)
  

In other news, this has been a hell of a day. My chin has been tingling pretty viciously for the last three or four days. This is a sign that the feeling is returning. Over the course of today, a little feeling has returned, but more to the point, my pain has increased dramatically - like, to a level it hasn't reached since my early days at Steph's apartment. EVERYTHING hurts...I have a headache, my neck and shoulders hurt and the centralized pain in my chin and lower jaw is excruciating. I was near tears in the last hour of work :( I've taken Advil and that has helped somewhat. I am hoping tomorrow is better. Here are the pics:
