Day +4


It is now Day +4 and things are getting tougher. I'm feeling mostly ok, but I do have a fairly constant quesy stomach which is made worse by certain foods, certain activities and seeing Newt Gingrich on the TV. My taste in food is changing daily . Yesterday, the only thing I felt like eating was bagels and cream cheese. Today, the thought of a bagel is disgusting, but I craved shredded wheats. I'm getting quite tired of being cooped up here in the hospital, even though I have no complaints about the quality of my treatment. I' m also feeling considerably weaker...less able to walk around and cause trouble. It is not very heartening to know that things are likely to get worse before they get better. So, needless to say, I'm looking for time to pass quickly. Song for the day: Eric Clapton - Better Make It Through Today.

  4. Yeah, it does get worst! When I had my sct, it started to get bad @ day 4 and then it was a downward spiral till around day 12. I couldn't eat anything, but had to drink ensure otherwise they would have put food in a tube or something horrible. But you' ll get thru it.... And then it will be onto CR and feeling better . Best to you
