And now, it's Sunday. I still don't feel well, and we're 4 days into it. WTF, body? W. T. F. This morning, I had this dull ache all the way around the area I hurt last night, where the body meets the legs. I'm not in as much pain as last night, but....
After bowling (very badly, I felt so lopsided and off balance and TIGHT), we went to Majerle's for lunch. Someone in our group wanted to watch the games. They were packed, really busy, so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to take some time with the waitress, but she seemed to be understanding. I ordered a chicken sandwich without the bun or cheese, and salad for the side.
The sandwich came with an herb dressing which she assured me had no wheat or dairy. When I got my lunch (from another server), there were a dozen croutons on top of my salad. A couple of people suggested I take them off, so I started to, but they were very crumbly, so there were crumbs on my salad. I flicked the croutons onto the table, quickly followed by the top layer of my salad. Then I ate everything left on my plate--a large piece of chicken and a small salad.
I think my actions made my friends uncomfortable, and I feel badly about that, but I am 4 days into this horrible thing and I don't know when it will end or how I can make it end. I was trying (somewhat unsuccessfully) not to cry, find a way to laugh about this, and flinging food off my plate was, while impulsive, a way to vent. This is the first time we've been to Majerle's since I changed my diet. I'm sure we'll go there again but I'm not pleased with today's debacle. I left a note on the bottom of the receipt that said: "Croutons are wheat. Please educate your staff about food allergies."
Oh hell, you don't make me uncomfortable. I'm here to help you laugh about idiots (and me).
