Recovery

It's been a few days. I am busy with all the preparations for my liquid diet once every hour. I do not have any hunger pangs nor desire to eat more. I have not had any nausea or vomiting. I'm gradually learning how to measure everything etc. My wonderful husband took me to the grocery store today to pick up a few things for this wonderful diet. I have decided to withold all my vitamin supplements except the chewable multivitamin. I have not found anything to cover up the taste of crushed meds which have been added to milk, juice, yogurt, etc. I find I am still tired and need to take a nap at least once a day for an hour, sometimes two. Hopefully that will decrease. There are times when I wonder - "What have I done?" but then remind myself of my long term goal. Besides, my body would reject any kind of solid food once it exceeds a certain, very small, amount.

I'm supposed to walk everyday but so far have not been able to do that. I will try my Resistance Chair later today and see if that is tolerable. I need to do something. I am afraid of walking because of my bad right knee and the possibility that I might fall again. Then someone who sees it can come help or call for help - It generally takes two people to get me up. That is one thing I am looking forward to - getting up by myself :0)! Can hardly wait until I graduate up to Baby food.

The incisions are healing but two of them seem to bother more than the others. Some of the super glue came off in the shower today. Last night I had a problem with the evening meds and mixing them into a small amount of liquid. The end results is that some of those "crushed' meds landed on the very back of my tongue so now I have a sore throat - wonderful!!!! Dinner tonight consists of 2 oz cream of chicken soup and 2 oz of milk. The snoozies are catching up to me so I better lay down for a bit - Until later - Tikki
