Day One Hundred and Three

I’ve been craving sushi since I was in the hospital and starting to get my appetite back (circa Day Eight.) I thought that would be the first take-out dish I’d eat once I got home. It turned out that I was too tired, in too much pain, and feeling too sick in the first few weeks after surgery.

Then I started chemo, which makes me more susceptible to bacteria. I’m not supposed to eat uncooked fruits and veggies during chemotherapy, so raw fish doesn’t seem like a very wise take-out order, either.

Tonight, we’re ordering Thai food, and I’m so excited.

What’s strange is that I’m not an adventurous eater at all. I don’t like surprises! Seafood, let alone raw seafood, isn’t my typical fare. Anything served with legs or eyes makes me nervous. Spicy dishes are risky, as well.

I like what you’d expect a Very White Person to like: California rolls, Alaska rolls, chicken pad thai, spring rolls, fortune cookies. (I do love fortune cookies.)
