Hi @outlander
I am so glad you got some sleep last night - there were a whole bunch of us with you and you must have felt protected - whatever though - so good you got some 💤 time - I hope that feels a bit better
Granma Dec's orders are to stay in bed for as long as possible too - you are feeling as flat as a pancake because this is the rest you really needed to take after the operation you had and no wonder - you have had so such stress and you are exhausted
Try and only eat in small bites and wait until that has settled in you tummy - I know from my own life that it's harder to eat than not to eat at times and your stomach will shrink and make it harder
Get as much rest as you can - you really are flat - I think you get your stitches out tomorrow - I hope you can tell your doctor how you are can't eat right now - not that it is a supprise
Wishing you the best today @outlander - take it easy for as long as possible

Ok @outlander
Granny Dec again - watching over - which is what I did on my phone after I went to bed
Up and on the couch with the TV and a cup of tea - good start - with plans of toast - just nibble at it
Do you have any vegemite - of course if you like vegemite - it has salt to balance those electrolytes you are missing
My orders are to rest as much as possible today - you have been running on empty for about a week or longer now and of course you are weak - it happens to me now and again when I lose my appetite for any reason -
Hey @MDT - I am glad you went out last night and could see the unhappiness of other people without needing to feel it yourself - you say you are too tall - so how tall are you. The men in my family are tall - and a man has to be really tall before I notice it. I am pretty tall myself - I like it - I never feel vertically challenged
I wish both of you the best today - in Melbourne it's sunny and warming up after a cold night

Thanks @Owlunar for watching over.
Yeah im not going very far today. Mums bf is off and has decied to take the youngest one out after lunch so ill get about an hour or so quiet time.
I do have vegemite but I didnt put any on there. Just bit a butter and that was it. It seems to be staying put for now. It seems heavier things give me cramps so ill speak to my gp about it tomorrow morning.
Im resting. Im not doing much. Just watching movies and occassionally flicking onto here when im awake enough.
Ok @MDT
take it easy today then and then youll be rested ready for the week. If your up to it maybe you could get a head start on your uni essay.
Hmm gorey stuff doesnt bother me. Ive watched a lot worse than walking with dinsoaurs but yeah I can hear all the girls whinging. Not me!
People just dont seem to want to old fashioned love life they want one night stands and partying and working and just jumping into relationships nt speading time with them

Hi @MDT
My brother is 6 foot 4 and my nephew is 6 foot 5 and I don't think that is excessively tall - Dad and his brothers were all tall me
I am of the female gender and I am 5 foot 7 - and I notice these days a lot of young women are taller - not that it bothers me
I get the feeling though being so tall you have had this rammed down your throat all your life - and you are young - my brother and I were always tall for our age as children and very thin too - so I am wondering if you are thin too
But I cannot see you as Lurch from The Addams Family - that might be a scary image
But whatever - you feel it is too tall - and alas - if the rest of the world and me think it's okay - you have to feel okay with it but for me
Tall is great
All the best - Dec
