In other weighty news, I'm down another belt size. Haven't bothered to post my meals in my journal, as I've fallen into a habit of eating much the same thing every day... just 9 different day formats programmed eats repeating over and over. How many times cana person say pick 4 or so from the following- "sushi, veggie egg rolls, chik patties, total corn flakes, york peppermint patty, king size diet coke, water, tea, veggie beans, peas, french cut string beans"?

I am keeping track on the palm, mainly to be sure I don't go over if I decide to splurge. I *did* have some demonic volcano cake with caramel drizzle and vanilla ice cream that I figured was at least a 15, so I pulled 25 from the bank of 35 points for the week. I can get away with that when I geneally eat the bare minimum, and only withdraw about 3-5 points a week from the bank over incidentals and barely-overs.

Madre thought that I looked significantly different, and I suspect that's true, since I think the last time I saw her was the top of september, give or take.

Trying to decide what goodies to take with me to the hospital. Palm is surely coming, I think lappie will stay home. I haven't decided on the digi-cam yet, but the cruddy palm-cam will be along, one way or the other.

Speaking of my upcoming surgery, I would prefer to opt out of a catheter. I hope that since this is an "overnight" thing, I won't have to have some ham-handed sadist to try and shove a tube into my natural urination-equipment, if it can be helped. One of my least-fond memories of my last surgery was getting an erection with it in. It didn't really hurt, but it was an unpleasant event.

Random Scotto factoid - I've got a very strong pubococcygeus muscle, and am quite confident that I won't have much trouble incontinence-wise when I'm older. (I do my Kegels.)

Interestingly enough, I grew up being told it was something that only happens to women when they are in their 50's, etc. I've found since, several female relatives, friends etc., who are having leakage issues as early middle 30's. I wonder if that is the case for males, too? It's just something people really don't talk about, I guess.

the wallpaper is pretty nifty. :0)

It's very possible. Kegels are a very simple way to prevent that trouble, and enhance your sex life, too.

I do understand that both men and women have incontinence issues later in life (like the 60s and later.. that whole adult diaper industry)

Hooray for the Horseman!
