I'm Back!
First I would like to thank Jill & Debbie for bloggysitting Rockstar Diary while I was in Hospital. Then I would like to thank all the readers who left nice comments. I love comments. And they are all forwarded to my Sidekick, so I received them all.
And for those of you who did not catch the Andy Warhol reference let me explain. In 1986 Andy Warhol died while receiving routine gall bladder surgery. I checked in to hospital because of my gall bladder and Beth Israel (the worst hospital in the whole world!) wanted to take it out. Luckily my parents came a rescued me and took me to Greenwich Hospital which is like a 5 star casino/resort. (Think the Bellagio with morphine and hot Doctors). They let me know that it was not necessary to have surgery but I had to wait it out while my very bratty pancreas calmed the fuck down. And it took forever. I was finally released today after being able to eat food for the first time in 2 weeks without being in excruciating pain. YAY! I am not totally out of the woods. I am on a very restricted diet for at least a month. No drinking. No smoking. No fatty or spicy foods. I know, torture. But I promise to go to a lot of shows in NY and take lots of pictures, so the site will not get boring. Oh and of course there is my nose job in January with Dr. Jason Diamond in Beverly Hills. Everyone LOVES a make-over right?
Anyway, glad to be back. And promise to be careful so I never get sick again. I hope!

Sooo two weeks ago I went to Darla's birthday party at her super swank Chelsea townhouse. By the time I got the pictures from Darren (I forgot my camera) I was being tortured at Beth Israel. So I am finally getting around to blogging them now:

That's all. I promise to be back really soon with sexy hospital pics, x-mas morning, presents and a very long past due Rockstar Diary contest!

Ciao for now!

PS: I just weighed myself. I lost 14 pounds at the hospital! I am SO HAPPY!

I think I should go on the hospital diet of pain killers instead of food. Why didn't Mary Kate think of that?

hope you have a fast recovery.

I'm sure Deb will hook you up with some yummie foods you can eat.


Happy Holidays to you and your group (Tim)

Lisa.

Hey lady! Glad to hear you are out of the hospital. I was following your adventures at Beth Israel from Deb's blog. I just had my gall bladder out on Wednesday, so I know what you're going through. Loads of fun, right? Be sure to pass on any lovely bland recipes because I'm on the same diet. Merry freakin' Christmas.

I'M SO HAPPY!

I just got back from visiting Jocelyn at her parent's house in CT and she looks FABULOUS. Seriously -- she's no longer ghostly white, doubled over in pain and shaking all the time. She can also understand complex sentences again.

It's great to have you back!

I can't wait for the triumphant return to Brooklyn. We'll throw a very bland oatmeal-inspired welcome back party in your honor where everyone has to wear hospital gowns except you.

Yay!!! I'm so glad you're better. Merry Christmas!

Welcome home!! I missed your blog! Sunny Florida tends to be a little boring, so I enjoy reading about your life. Merry Christmas!! Hope to see you soon...

Yay! Joc is back! We've missed you. I'm glad you got sprung before Christmas. Q: Can you eat sugar-free truffles? No-knead bread? I have much menu-planning to do. Hooray for morphine-drip diets!

Cupcakes, Jill, Jessica & Crystal: Thank you! Glad to be back.

Aunt Susan (Sade): I will See YOU in February, Poolside baby! I am so excited.

Debbie:
No suger free--I mean it cannot be sweetened with artificial sweeteners.

I can have small amounts of bread--just no spices like nutmeg. Bad.

I am very weak, a trip to CVS & the video store last night exhausted me. I was shaking when I got back. But I continue to eat and I get stronger and I still feel that losing 14 lbs made the whole ordeal worth it! Ha!

Glad to hear you escaped before xmas. That would have sucked in such a bad way. Hope the next month flies for you...

I just started a loaf of the 20-hour bread for you last night. Are you back at work this week? I'll send you home with a big chunk of it. You can keep it in your freezer and just take it out a slice at time.

Posted by: deb at December 26, 2006 11:01 AM

THANK YOU! I will be back at work tomorrow--Wednesday, but probably only half day...

Posted by: Jocelyn at December 26, 2006 01:28 PM

Welcome back! I was hoping you'd be out for Christmas. :) Here's to a speedy recovery and you getting back to your fun lifestyle ASAP! Cheers!

OMG 14 pounds....holy crap, that's incredible!! I totally need to get sick before summer...we'll, no drinking OR smoking? Mmmmm, maybe not. Glad you're back. Merry Christmas!

You are going to look even more fabulous (hard to believe) in 2007 with your new nose and Birkham yoga/hospital diet body. Celebrate with a bikini and heels weekend :)
