Jimmy, with a bit of rest and food, Tina will soon be feeling much better. Just keep reminding her that 'this too shall pass'....the first week or so after a major surgery is always the most difficult and trying. Mostly it's irritating that you cannot do anything without becoming exhausted. We're always so eager to go do things and get stuff done. But if she just takes it easy her strength will build up and then this will all be a distant memory (like a bad nightmare!).

Your dinner looks tasty. And ~ surprise! ~ very healthy. Good for you.

Barb, your popovers really popped! Nice.

Question: do you prefer clam chowder with or without bacon?

If I start it with salt pork, no bacon.

If I don't have salt pork, then, yes to bacon.

IMO, it needs that 'porky-salty' component.

Ha! I almost had Brussels sprouts for supper ~ but decided against them at the last minute. I like your 'trick' of adding the grapes and nuts. It really mellows them out.

Ended up with pan fried loin pork chops, sweet potato & apple hash and green beans......

Take advantage of the mild days.
It was warm here today. 67 degrees.

Son Jimmy and wife are leaving tomorrow for Fort Meyers Florida, and he said it will be in the 80's while they are there. I couldn't believe it!
I would melt in heat like that.

I made us pan fried Cod and shrimp.
Tina had mashed potatoes and gravy, and I had broccoli.

Tina is broken out with hives on her back and neck, and face. We called the DR. and said to give her benadryl (sp?) ..... It is working a little, but she is sleepy from it.
Always something with that poor girl!

Jimmy. Is Tina allergic to one of her new medicines????
Just keep an eye on her. Contact doctor if it does not subside. Seriously. Do not want to worry you.

I suspect she is allergic to one of her antibiotics or other meds that she is taking for her surgery. Make sure she doesn't have any trouble breathing or that her throat doesn't feel like it is closing up. If it happens, it is a medical emergency and you have to call 911. I have an allergy to Amoxicillin. I got an itchy rash on various parts of my body. I can't take Benadryl so my rash took 8 months to go away.

Tina has allergy to sulfa drugs. She breaks out with hives. It is on the medical records with all doctors. We are watching the breathing and airway. No Problems there.
What I did do, is gave her a shower (Better than I did the other day when she was about to pass out ) and I washed her whole back where the red was; fron her neck, and down to where it stopped right at the butt. It was amazing.... all red and raised welts that you can feel, and see, but white at the line where the butt starts. And here is the kicker. ONLY the back. Not the sides of her body.
None at the surgery entrances (4) + the belly button. No Rash!
Only Under the breasts it was a swath of red about 2 inches wide.
OK... I dried her, and put no cream, and she was amazed, the burning itching stopped, and I noticed the red was breaking up with some white flesh (normal) filling in. ?????? She just put on a thin night dress /gown, and she is in the recliner feeling less itchy, and does not want to sleep in her bed, because she feels good just as she reclines in that position.

I think she lay on something in the hospital that she was allergic to, and I washed it off.

The day after the surgery, she called me at night, and we looked at each other on the cell phones with what they call face time. I asked her,"What the hell did you do?" "Go a couple rounds in a fight?"... she said Yeah! How about that!"
My face is swollen! .... Now she remembered, her neck was starting to itch and her belly and backside was itchy. She just shrugged it off at the time and said nothing to anyone else.

So tomorrow at 3:30P will be one week post op!

Tomorrow we are gonna do her hair. Wash it. She was too weak to do it today, but feels she will be stronger tomorrow.

She did have something very similar to this, a few years ago. I have pictures that I took to show the dermatologist how severe it was; just in case he needed to see it if it went away partially by the time she got there.

I am so glad she is feeling better. That Benedryl really works. For some reason I can't take the stuff. It gives me a 24 hour gut ache. I remember getting a complete body rash in high school. I looked awful. It was all over everything including my face and the palms of my hands. It itched like hell. I had it for two weeks and finally I went to the doctor. He gave me Benedryl and the rash was gone in 4 hours. I never did find out what caused it. What I suspect is something on some grass I was sitting on at the park.
One time my DH got a bad case of hives from some tropical plant at his employer's home. He took Benedryl and it went away but kept coming back. Even though we had washed his clothes, there must have been some residue left on them. When he put them on the hives came back. We had to toss his pants, shirt, underwear and socks.

Yesterday I tried two versions of clam chowder. They both went down the sink. Gotta try Norm's version today and any other version someone can suggest.

I saw the sweetest video yesterday of a wild sea otter giving birth at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Those babies are the cutest!
I then saw a picture of a woman who had adopted a giant rabbit. Those things are as big as a cocker spaniel. She gave it a new name that made me laugh: Atilla the Bun.

I didn't waste much. I cut the recipes down to 1/4 and never added the clams. It was just the base so all I tossed was a potato, some bacon grease, one piece of celery and a quarter onion.
That is how I cook all of the time. I always cut a recipe down to 1/4 so there is never any waste in my house. Very few leftovers, if any and if there are leftovers I usually use them the next day. Sometimes, though, the leftovers can't be salvaged and have to be tossed.

We called the dr. office again this morning. They said stop the blood thinners shots. ( Enoxaparin Sodium Injection 40 mg ) . Where they were given in the leg at the hospital, they are big blotches.
The only other drugs she took pre-admission was Neomycin 1000 mg, and
Metronidazole 500 mg x two. It coukd have been one of those??

I bought Domeboro powder and made a solution to pat on her red blotchy area's.
Also she likes the Gold Bond medicated body powder.

Just hoping and praying.. Other than that, Tina said if it weren't for the rash, she would feel great. Everything else is working fine.

No clue for dinner tonight. I think maybe a tuna salad sandwich for Tina. No onions or celery for hers. Not on the good foods list for post op.
