Randy's update 3-5-11


Hello All,

Another week with some positive news.  On Monday the doctor and nurses thought that my intake of fluids was good. They told me to come back in a week. This past week was for trial of new foods. Most were just irritating or burning. Found nothing that would work This irritation  is what caused me to stop or slow down the drinking of water.. By Thursday I was feeling dehydrated and needed fluids. I called one of my favorite nurses, Ellen D., and she came by and hit a vein on the first try. She hooked me up with one bag of fluids and I started feeling better. I felt I should go back to basics. Soft boiled eggs, carnation instant breakfast mixed with water and water mixed with strawberry syrup. By going back to basics, today, Saturday, my throat feels better and  I am able to drink more water and the rest of my basic foods go down a little easier.

Last Saturday, Phil and Ellen stopped by for a visit. When I woke up they were all having a good time, enjoying a couple of drinks. I wanted to join in so I tried a shot of Phil's beer. Tasted good and only burned a little. Got my own bottle and enjoyed it a shot at a time. I did have to stir out the bubbles, but it really tasted good.

I am going to stick to basics and a beer!

Love and Hugs to All,

Randy
