As much as yesterday was bad, today has been good. It seems to be a pattern within these difficult periods.
One of the best things about today has been a noticeable reduction in the levels of nausea, which is probably in turn because I have eaten better.
One of my little fillers is small tubs of trifle.
Being brought up in a South Wales family the "Sunday tea" was a weekly occurrence, which consisted of a few savouries but mostly home baked cakes, tarts and the obligatory trifle.
Mr "Butcher" (my mother's brother) and I had a particular fondness for our desserts and especially a healthy looking bowl of trifle. Mr Butcher is on record recently as saying that in my situation he would be liquidising trifle and cake. I believe him to be very fond of an M&S trifle (the family size) and I can certainly relate to his sentiment. I will have to bear this in mind.
Whilst I am using these sorts of snacks to bulk out the diet I have managed to get a couple of the hospital's energy drinks down, more difficult to do because of acid kick that burns (don't ask why trifle is any easier).
I have also had more complete food such as mash and casseroled beef as well as the daily mushy cereal, rice pudding and soup.
OK, so you don't need the detail but the point is that I am getting a grip, trying to get the calories in and put a floor on the weight loss and, equally as important, keep myself hydrated.
That can only be a good thing.
