@ShelPrice...I am doing much better. Thanks. I took everyone's advice I am totally in the zone right now. I just came from a retirement dinner (paid $50 for the ticket) and all I drank was water. The buffet was huge AND they had an amazing dessert table. It didn't phase me one bit because the cost of the ticket is not worth me risking a delay in my surgery! I just focused on the fellowship...not the food!
