Hi Everybody,
As you know, I finished my treatments on Tuesday. Logically, you assume that I will slowly start to get better. Unfortunately, that has not been the case. Beginning on Super Bowl Sunday, I lost my ability to swallow anything! That has been the case for most of this week. Weasle has been taking me down to University of Maryland Hospital each morning to get an IV infusion of fluids to keep me hydrated. The doctor has been monitoring me hoping that the inflammation will subside enough to allow me to avoid getting a tube down my nose to feed me. I have been trying to swallow anything. On Thursday I was able to drink a pureed soft boiled egg and Thursday evening I did 2 eggs. Wow I thought the doctor was right, that by Friday the swelling would start receding. Things went downhill fast.On Friday I was only able to do 1/2 cup of cream of mushroom soup and in the evening 1/2 cup pureed mashed potatoes with cheese. I wasn't happy with the progress. I was going the wrong way. This morning surprised me. I mixed a carnation instant shake with ice cream. The whole shake was finished with a little work. I wanted to keep going so I boiled up 2 soft eggs and as usual, pureed them. I also was able to work them down. This has made me very happy! What to eat next?
Love and hugs to all
Randy
