The Ignorance of People in General

Ok. So I went to the doctors today and had my drain removed. When I got to the office, the place was packed. I actually had to go looking for a chair to sit in while I waited. So once I was seated I assumed the relaxed yet impatiently waiting position that most people assume when waiting at a doctors office. A little while later, a older blind couple came in for an appointment. I thought nothing of it and just went on waiting. The couple signed in for their appointment and turned in the direction of the waiting room I was in. I looked around and there were seats to be had, but none of them were actuallly together. So as they got closer I began looking at the other people that were seated. None of them made any kind of motions to get up and offer the couple a seat so that they could sit together. I, the person who less than a week ago had a major surgery and had a drainage bag clearly hanging from my body, was the only one to get up and offer the people a seat together and actually tell them where the seats were (only about 4 steps forward). This irritates me a lot. No, it doesn't irritate me, it plain flat pisses me off. What the hell is wrong with people? These people just sat there! They could obviously see that these people were both blind. Why didn't somebody get up? Did their mothers teach them nothing? When someone who has some sort of a problem such as blindness or some physical disability, I always make accomodations and give them my seat. Even on the bus, if an elderly person gets on and there are no seats, I offer them mine. Why are people so blasted ignorant?!? Grrr!!!!!

Ok, now that the rant is over with. The removal of the drain wasn't painful, just weird. It was kind of like having a whole cut into your size about the diameter of one of those kindergarten crayons and then having your small intestine pulled through that whole. You feel the thing coming out the whole way. In the words of Molly Tighe, "grody to the max!" Anyway, so my incisions look good and I'm allowed to drive as soon as I feel that I'm ready. The most awesome part is that I've moved on to the pureed food part of the diet. Finally!!!! Hello yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, baby food, pudding, cream of wheat, coco wheats, and so on! Immediatley when I got home I ate a jar of baby food. It was not exactly what I expected though. It was a vanilla custard pudding from gerber I think and it was actually quite crappy. I'll probably eat up the remainder of the baby food and not buy that type of thing again unless I'm traveling which is the only time it will come in useful. I took a nap and about an hour after I woke up I had a slice of rye toast with butter and mustard. This was fine, or so I was told by the surgeons nurse, as long as I really take my time eating and chewing it. Each bite supposedly has to be chewed 20 times. That's awfully difficult to do especially when the food is actually pureed already. Oh well, I'll give it a go.

So Jessica and I went to the supermarket tonight. I got the above mentioned foods and I'm super excited that there will now be such a variety of foods in my diet. Stoked baby!!!! Now I'm tired. I'm supposed to do 30 minutes total walking and I did way over that today. I feel good, but I'm ready for a shower and bed. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully a productive one!
