LIVING LIFE ONE OBSTACLE AT A TIME

Most people who know me and what I have been going through probably think I don't have much to be thankful for, however, I have and always have loved the holidays.  I love thanksgiving, turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, doesn't get much better then that.  My favorite food of all time is stuffing and leftover thanksgiving sandwich, yummy.  Those of you that follow me obviously know that I wont be eating a thanksgiving meal, however my family will be.  Really its not about the food, its all about family time and reflection time. Time for people to think about what they have and be grateful for it. Also remembering those that you may have lost, giving thanks that they are no longer in pain and thankful that you have someone special looking down on you.  We should be thankful and grateful everyday but on thanksgiving it elevates and makes people think deeper, well at least it does for me. A tradition in my family, as far back as I can remember...

After a very long day, I am drained both physically and mentally, so I have decided to take a little road block, sending us back a little ways.  Back to before I had NG tubes, G and J tubes, back to before when I could eat real food and not rely on TPN( IV nutrition), back to when I could be an athlete, back to when I could be a college student and party without the fear that one sip of alcohol could kill me now because of one of my meds, back to when I was "normal" whatever that means. So I challenge you...... If you woke up tomorrow morning and found out you could no longer eat real food, what foods would you miss the most??  What restaurant would you miss most? If you wok...
