I'm not a big fan of oranges. Just never cared for them. Fact is, I never took to any citrus fruit and it led to bad ear aches when I was a kid. Oh, I liked orange soda, orange sherbert, orange Hostess cupcakes, and orange Dreamcycles. Can't remember ever buying them for myself. But, my quadruple bypass surgery changed that for a while. I was told when I left the hospital that I could eat anything and as much as I wanted for the next month. My mom, worrying that I wouldn't eat anything healthy, offered me an orange. I took it just to get her off my back, thinking I'd eat a little of what she wanted me to eat and have ball eating what I really wanted. That first orange tasted good and I asked for another which shocked my mom. Then, I asked for another. She had four in the fridge and they were gone in an hour and a half. I asked if I could have some more and she went to the store and got a whole of them. They were big and juicy and had two more. Then, I started eating six a day! After the third day, she called my doc to see if there was something wrong with me. He told her that it was my body telling me I needed them and there wasn't a problem unless I had a reaction to them. The orange craving lasted a little over a week. Since then, I'm back to my old ways of not eating them. I know I should eat them, but I still don't care for them. But, I'll never forget the week of the oranges.
