“Enliven your senses with the ultimate chocolate”
That’s what this pack of dark chocolate with chili says on the top. I love dark chocolate, especially flavored with something unusual. And chili 🌶 is definitely not often associated with chocolate.
Like all good things in life, Dark chocolate should be taken sparingly because too much of a good thing is not good. I have yet to learn to control my greedy heart and do at times take more than 2 squares, which causes me to stay awake at night. But it is “Lindt” and who can say no to Lindt!
You might have guessed that these chocolates, ( there are/were 5 of them) were a get well present from my kids. By the Grace of God, I am much better now and it’s been 4 while weeks since the surgery. Just 2 more to go and I will be allowed to walk on the operated foot.
I hope it is pain-free and works as it is supposed to work!

Your prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “the first 2-5 words at the top of the closest printed matter.” Open (if necessary) the closest printed matter to you. Use the first 2-5 words at the top of the page any way you’d like in your post. Have fun!

Thanks Indira. I had ankle fusion surgery to fix arthritic ankle joint and my fallen arch.

Is it painful? Are doing physiotherapy also? How long it will take to heal? Sorry, I am asking too many questions.

It was quite painful the first 3 weeks. Now it’s much better. It will take 3 months to heal but I’ll be allowed to use my left foot for walking after 6 weeks. No physio right now but maybe when the plaster is removed after 3 months. No worries, thanks for your concern.

Plaster for three months? Very uneasy, I presume. Get well soon.

I agree, who can say no to Lindt. I tried their 100% cocao chocolate, not recommended. It’s too bitter.
Happy to hear you can now walk on your operated foot 😊

Mmm! Lindt chocolates … my favorite. Who can resist? The only time I have them in the house is for Christmas because I’ll be constantly nibbling away. Good luck with your foot; I hope the surgery was successful and you’ll be back to “normal” in no time!
