Despite a bad start to the day with sickness issues I am still stronger again today.
Because there are many issues at hand it is far too early and I am far to weak to say that I am in clearer waters.
I feel strong enough to get up and write properly (rather than just a one liner) and I am considering a walk up to the shops to see the Italian Hairdresser to get my hair cut. Apparently he has trialled a new "Brazilian" treatment on his own hair, which removes the frizz from your head hear. That will make him look even more like Tony Curtis than ever.
It will still be a day of doing very little and it is very noticeable that I generally run into trouble after 4:30pm. Yesterday it was with more sickness.
My weight is continuing to drop, which is very disconcerting because I am making my best efforts to feed myself. I was hoping that it would at least have stabilised itself.
There is no escaping the fact that the last two weeks have been utter misery. It is so difficult to lift yourself out of the trauma when it is an untrodden pathway. You don't know what the rules are and there are lots of unknowns to battle along the way.
I am hoping and praying that I am close to some kind of respite. Despite that I am not naive enough to be expecting it.
Best foot forwards is the only way from here.
If you can tolerate milk puddings, Farola is quit easy to take.
ReplyDeleteYou and yours are in my prayers.
Hi Swordfish, I am so pleased you were able to pick the kids up from school, that must have been a boost for all of you.
ReplyDeleteObviuosly I dont know you, but i can tell you are a fighter. You seem to have started your blog early today which is great. Good luck with the hairdresser!
Do you mind me asking you a question? I understand if you dont want to answer.
Do you feel discomfort from your stent? My Dad is having discomfort, not pain, but its having a negative effect on his mental attitude. I wondered if you had experienced this?
I hope you have a really good day today, and at least you know that after 4 you need to take it easy.
If its possible to send stregnth and positive vibes via ESP or something like that I am just sending you a wheelbarrow full now! hope it gets to you.

Rumps,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry.
I know that some of the food drinks can be quite sickly. The old fashioned alternative was barley water - not at all like the bottled synthetic stuff - and I wonder if it could be sustaining without being a strain to digest? It was always said to be very gentle on the liver and kidneys.
My grandmother used to make it... You boil up barley in water until you get a thick starchy liquid and then drink that diluted with milk and sweetened with honey for extra calories. It's very plain and mild. Failing that, have you tried Complan? Another invalid drink - although my main experience of that is feeding it to sick pets to get their strength back. ;)
Thinking of you...
