Nebulisers and Diet

I have been continuing to try and find some kind of equilibrium after my cold last week but it is not proving to be easy.

The constant sickness caused by the combination of eating and the cold's aftermath have been particularly trying and I have taken two courses of action

  1. Kitten has been shopping for alternatives to my predominantly dairy based diet
  2. I have contacted the hospital and they have provided me with a saline nebuliser
My adjusted diet which features more liquidised heavy soups has helped quite a lot but I haven't had a chance to use the nebuliser yet.  The nebuliser is something that is usually used in bronchial cases but hopefully it will help me feel clear before sitting down to eat and remove the constant stress of current events.

Virtually the only medication I take is a standard antacid tablet, but in dissolvable form.  That has been aggravating the problem so I have not been taking it.  It is probably the removal of this which has been causing the stomach gripes, which are now at such a level that they could be described as rampant and are my major problem.  So, I have started back on the tablets and hope that the combination of a more varied diet and the nebuliser will get me back on track.

It has been a long and difficult week though and perhaps it shows why I am not just sitting here fretting about the events of the next couple of weeks.  Often there is enough to cope with on a day to day basis.
