Sorry I haven't written in awhile. I have had a little rough patch. Let
me recap for you. Well day four WAS turning out my best day, my pain was
down and I began to take diluted soup with a device the nurse gave me
at the class. It took two of us to feed me but it was worth it. The soup
tasted so good on my throat. It also took less time to drink , about 25
mins for a cup. I still was not getting enough calories. I was doing
fine, getting ready for "bed" when it hit me in a flash... nausea and
then it came... It wasn't as bad as I had envisioned but really I hate
throwing up. I thought I had passed that milestone , but I guess I needed the full experience. Let's just say the rest of the night and day 5 was
a battle, throwing up several more times and struggling to get any
liquid down. One cup of ensure felt like 10 cups as it took over 2 hours
to go down. I struggled with nausea and my stomach feeling like it was
burning. I don't understand why every time I tried to "eat" my stomach
hasn't leaped for joy. We are also trying to get my bowels a moving ,
drinking yummy prune juice and such. I hope that happens soon because
that is not a journey I would like to go on. Day 5 has been the toughest
day home so far. When your feeling horrible and it is hard to
communicate, frustration becomes real. Bruising is starting to show on
my face and neck. It is a nice green yellow. Don't be alarmed they told
us bruising will happen and gravity takes it down .Thanks for encouragements, prayer and
love.
