The Weekly Friday Feast

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Thanks @Angels333 @JB70

At that time it was a Life threatening Bowel Obstruction (Benign Tumor) Volvulus they called it.

Total obstruction, would not have survived without immediate surgery (to remove it) - turned out it wasn't cancerous.

Bowel rejoin failed (after 1st emergency surgery) - Septic infection, tummy expanded like a Balloon.

So had 2nd emergency surgery - was given a Stoma (bowel disconnected) with bag.

Then 3rd surgery (6 months later) - was to remove Stoma, & reconnect bowels.

Staples were taken out too early, wound split (very large Hernia) - so had 4th surgery (16 months ago), to remove Hernia.

Now this 5th surgery is to repair the results/ damage left from the last (4th) surgery.

Diverticular Disease of the Colon (large intestine) I now have (whatever that is) - I did not have that at the time of the 1st surgeries.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (now) also - caused by those surgeries, not there before that.

Hope this next one really does go smoothly @Adge.

Fancy sausages and mash here. Kransky sausages cooked with mixed vegs (sweet potato, onion, apple, tomato and a bit of barley) and served with spuds.

Thanks @Smc Things should well go very smoothly (this time) - it's just me fearing that they won't (because they didn't the other times).

Yum, I'm a Big Fan of Mash.

Fancy sausages good too.

Sweet potato, onion, apple & barley - sounds really nice.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Your dinners often sound really nice @Smc ..... 😋 ..... taking notes here .....

I hope the surgery goes really well @Adge. It's not hard to fear the worst when you have encountered bad outcomes before.
