Didn't sleep well and started to feel sick around 3 am. So I was up for a while. Still no real appetite. and those of you that know me, know the I'm eating something every couple hours. Saw my doc this afternoon and we discussed the nausea and what we can try to do about it. I'm praying this works. I need more energy from food that's obvious. Even the food I'm not allowed to eat doesn't appeal to me. C'mon, Hot Wings? You gotta be kidding me. Hotel Loyal Pizza? No. That's a little scary. I know a lot of you are praying for me. Include an appetite. I realize I have a lot of adjusting to do yet. and I'm keeping my spirits up. But I gotta eat, people. Dig?
I did eventually start to feel better, and I'm feeling ok right now. I even walked on the treadmill today. (twice and not very far.) I can breathe deep and clear and that's a relief after this week's little "sidestep". I can also sleep (for a little while) on my right side. I can't tell you how sweet that is. The more my chest and ribs heal the more I'll be sleeping the way I'm used to. (Oh Yeah)
There are things I realize I've taken for granted everywhere. I look at this in a positive way. I really do. I'm learning to re-appreciate things in my life. Something, I've needed to do for a while I believe.
Someday I may list them here. From the very obvious to the nearly unnoticeable.
I'll post more later. Time to eat.

ReplyDeleteYou know the irony of this is that probably 95% of the population wish the didn't feel like eating so much and the 5% who do wish they felt like eating have no appetite. Where is the justice?
ReplyDeleteCan you try the ensure type drinks to help maintain at least the minimum of what you need?
ensure and equate brand as well as Carnation instant breakfast drinks are high in Vitamin K (Vit. K can really mess up coumadin levels.) So the anticoag. dept. advises against them. (Trust me, I wish I could get away with it though)
ReplyDeleteHi Rich
ReplyDeleteThinking about you a lot today and praying for you. I have to enter a comment so i can write down "how" to do it...so I can pass it on to a couple of people that would like to send you a comment. My memory bank just won't keep all that info in it and furthermore I think I've only sent one comment so need to learn how all over again! Hang in there - things just HAVE to get better. We just want it to be YESTERDAY!
