I have had the worst time eating. I am managing to keep enough liquid down. Food is another story. I am better this week than I was last week. All my 'tricks' i used before are not working. I am not asking for suggestion unless you actually had cancer and went through being ill from chemo. I don't want to play the , 'have you tried _____" game. People always want to help with that and the answer is yes, I have tried everything. Stop suggesting things. They will go on and on and on. Uncle. Every morning I have a nice steaming mug of green jasmine tea. I can't do coffee right now and I miss it. I can do a frappucino or a latte but not a nice mug of coffee. The tea is good and that is ok. i also am eating some cut fruit that I have had soakig in ginger water. i steep ginger and mix the liquid with honey and mont. Then I slice catalpa and raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries and put it in the water and store it in the fridge thenI have this nice cold snack. It hasn't worked the past few days but today I mixed it with some organic greek yogurt and am keeping some down for breakfast. Cross your fingers. I need some protein but I will get to that. Baby steps.
I am in a great mood today. Yesterday i bought a new mattress and box spring. I have lost more weight. dang it. And when I rolled over in bed a realized I need more padding. So, then I went to Bungalow and bought a gorgeous tufted linen Queen bed in a sort of mushroom color. They had it in stock and are delivering it Monday. I had a gorgeous leather sleigh bed but when I got divorced and moved back over here I left the bed with Wade. I have been sleeping on this old 4 poster bed that was my great aunts. It is a full and it needs a new mattress too. I am setting up my guest rooming the front room again. When I moved back in this house I just never bothered to set it back up. I didn't have the bed. I made the front room into an art studio which I never used, because I was working so many hours and too tired on the weekend to be creative. I long to paint and draw but I am still not up to it. Maybe soon.
It might be crazy spending the money on the bed, but I am proceeding with he mindset that I am getting better and I have to much to do to stay sick. zit isn't denial it is just trying to win.
The other reason I am in a great mood is because I was able to keep my magnesium and potassium tablets down, and I feel so much better. So there, that's all the news for right now.
Peace.

Checking in to say I'm still out here cheering you on! Hugs, prayers and cheers from Alexandria!
ReplyDeleteI also was able to drink cappuccino but only from one coffee shop. Weird, huh? I also craved and ate salty broths. I was never throwing-up sick from chemo but I was ill from it. Does that make any sense to you?
ReplyDeleteYour fruit concoction sounds interesting and good.
I am looking forward to hearing more about what treatments your new doctor has suggested.
Sending good thoughts your way.

I love your attitude! You are such a winner! If I was closer, I would bring you over a big tray of cut up fruit.....that is the best part about eating it is when someone else does the grunt work. Hugs, Janie in Louisville
