Missing Coffee

This new template made me remember how much I am missing coffee! When they did the test to see about the cyst on my vocal cord, they found that I had a mild case of acid reflux. I had no idea! It has never bothered me. The conversation with the doctor was something like this:

Dr: It appears you have some acid reflux. We are going to have to get that under control before surgery.

me: What could be causing it?

Dr: Do you drink a lot of coffee?

me: What do you mean by "a lot'?

Dr: How many cups do you drink in a day?

me: What do you consider a cup?

So, it turns out drink a pot or two a day is a little too much. Who knew? Does she know what it takes to sanely homeschool five children and be a lively fitness instructor? I need the java. Hey, maybe that is why I am so tired.

Anyway, I had to cut down on the coffee before my surgery. That meant for me...stopping cold turkey. I weaned myself off, but it didn't help the migraine I received the day I had none. It has been three weeks since my last cup of coffee.....oh, I mean, "My name is Rebecca and I am a coffee addict. It has been three weeks since my last drink."  That's how I feel. I want to drink the coffee. I need the coffee. Ok, I am not that desperate. I miss the warmth of the cup in my hand. I miss having something to keep me from putting food in my mouth. The aroma of it brewing.

I have two more weeks of healing before I can freely drink without worry of scarring my ever-fragile vocal cords and I can't wait!

Does this mean I don't need to break out the coffee for you when you come? Although you will be glad to know that I have regular right now instead of decaf. Andrew bought it by mistake.
