I´m feeling better after a week at the hospital

Baby type food, does nothing to intrigue your appetite...and I know it is difficult to have to force it down...but you need your strength! Hopefully it won't be long before you can introduce pureed home-made soups, and that should intrigue your appetite! And I see where you have responded elsewhere tht you cannot have the meal replacement drinks...so there is not much to tempt you! Are your nights cooler than the usual spring...our's were, well into our very late spring...and it really slows down all of the nightshade family...my tomatoes were very slow, this year...but I still do have a few in the greenhouse...and I think they will end up being fried green tomatoes for Christmas Dinner! I can't believe how fast 3 months have trooped by...back for tests on Monday..but the nice thing is now I can get the scan and two biopsies all done at one visit..that saves me a huge amount of money and time! We had unusually high winds for about 11 days...and 5 of those I was without internet, so I do somewhat know the feeling! PLEASE..you take very special care...in my prayers and love!

I never take volunteer breaks from mylot, pergammano, as I´m completly addicted. But at the hospital they did not have a connection to internet so my daughter could not lend me her laptop. I hate my stomach, but I hope this will go away. Meanwhile I´m eating just baby food of sorts. I take a small look at my garden and my tomatoes already have 3 tiny tomatoes. They are not the round kind. The round ones are taking their time.

Dear friend, I have discovered that if food doesn´t appeal to me, my stomach will not like it either. In less than a week I´ll have my doctor´s appointment and I hope she will have suggestion about havong my tummy in good shape again. December is our hottest month but it seems that even my inner thermostate is not very good. Some days I even get cold enough to wear a sweater when everyone else is sleeveless. I hope your tests go well. Do keep me informed. I´ll be sending you positive energy. It seems that for us both next week will be very meaningful. Let´s hope for the best.

I'm sorry to hear that but keep following the doctors orders and you will feel right soon...you need to build up your immune system so be patient my friend.

I´m a lot better than last week, friend. I´m eating more food and my energy is coming back. I´m happy and feel that the worst is over.

Thanks, friend. I cannot yet eat veggies except carrots and boiled celery. I am still on a strict diet. And I´m too weak to excercise, but I hope I´ll get better. Today I did not feel so well, but it seems I will have to go on eating food that´s only for babies for a while. Every time I eat something a little out of limits, my stomach hurts.

I´m following doctor´s orders, friend. It seems that every time I eat anything that is not almost baby food, I get ill again. I´m glad I have an appointment with the doctor next week. I´m a bit pis*ed off with these last outcomings.

I´m trying to.I cannot eat veggies except carrots and boiled celery yet. I am still on a strict diet. And I´m too weak to excercise, but I hope I´ll get better. Thanks a lot for your wishes.

I have done all I can to be away from viruses. But I received my youndest daughter with her two younfer children as they both seemed heathy. But viruses have an incubation period.

I cannot eat veggies except carrots and boiled celedy. I am still on a strick diet. And I´m too weak to excercise, but I hope I´ll get better.

Okay..hope well soon ...

I´m doing a lot better now. Thank you for your prayers. My friends here have helped me a lot and that help has proved to be very important throughout my illness.

Dear friend, you are going through a lot - but it´s good to eat carrots and celery, of course. Carrots have carotenoids and even if you cook them, they may help your immunity. Your body can use them more easily if you add virgin olive oil, which I hope you are allowd to eat... If you can sit outdoors and have some sun and maybe walk a bit, you will have a lot of benefits of that. I do hope you will get better soon, and I also hope that your garden will be a great pleasure this summer..

I always have my veggies with vigin olive oil. I did not ask the doctor if I could have it, because I was afraid she´d say no. But now, a week later, I´m much better. Today I ate baked stuffed zuchinni. A miracle of good taste!!! Just eggs, bread crums and a bit of freid diced green onions. YUMMY!

I cannot eat veggies except carrots and boiled celery yet. I am still on a strict diet. And I´m too weak to excercise, but I hope I´ll get better. Meanwhile, I watch TV and do a little computing. I have to follow doctor´s orders to the dot after spending a whole week at the hospital.

I'm a little confused. You say the shots were expensive and the insurance didn't cover them but that the hospital didn't cost anything including the shots. Did the hospital "eat" the cost of the shots since the insurance didn't cover them?

THey gave me some special shots (quite expensive and the insurance doesn´t cover them) to get my defenses up. Unfortunatly they did not use that fter the chemo and I ended up in the hospital. Quite dumb, I would say. I asked about it. As it was, the hospital cost me nothing (shots included) but the insurance paid a lot.

U are very welcome, dear. I'm just glad u are improving. Things will bet better. Blessings to u.

Thanks for your concern. Jo. I went to the doctor today and I´m much better. But it will take a month before I can eat all types of food. I am sad because I get hungry, I want to eat, but my stomach doesn´t like that. I have to eat a lot like a baby

I´m starting to feel a lot better, Jo. I have more energy and my stomach accepts more foods. I´m treating myself as a baby though because if I have to be at the hospital again I´ll get the depression I did not have when I learned I had cancer. Hospital food is icky. I could not eat food so badly made so I almost starved there. Now everything is better, but I´m going one step at a time

Treat your body as you would a new born baby, with all the loving care you would give it. After all a new life is what you have. Blessings

Your words are wise, friend. I´m doing that and in just one week I´m feeling a lot better. I have started to eat other foods but just little by little, as you teach a baby to eat. It has been a good idea.

I have discovered that, savypat. It seems that I will have to wait some time before I start to eat nicer things than an almost baby diet I have now. Take care!

Thank you, catdla. I have discovered that the end of chemo is not the end of everything. Every time I try to eat a bit of something that´s not strict dieting, I have digestive problems. It seems I will have to wait before celebrations begin.

Thanks for your answwer.I´m doing a lot better now. My friends here have helped me a lot. I know that life has pains and sorrows, but it is beautiful in many other ways. I´´m looking forward to this Christmas with my loved ones!

Thanks you so much, Louie. I will have to behave as I don´t want to be at the hospital ever again, if I can help it. I thought that after the chemo ended, I could take things lighter, but it seems it takes a long time for the body to heal.

I have discovered that, but unfortunatly after some episodes of tummy aches plus this (much worse) viral infection. I had not much direct trouble with chemo, but this is driving me mad

Thanks you so much. I will have to have some tests in February. I thought that after the chemo ended, I could take things lighter, but it seems it takes a long time for the body to heal.

Thanks, but I cannot eat or drink anything that my doctor hasn´t ordered now. Many friends, even doctors, have given me ideas. But my oncologist says no and I will do what she says. She´s on charge!

I´m doing a lot better. thanks for your kind wishes. I have discovered that I have to eat like a baby for some time, until the linings of my stomach and intestine return to normal.
