Food and Flowers

There's not much to tell, but here's a little update on my progress. Thursday night, for the first time since my cancer diagnosis, I slept deeply enough to dream. It was nice to be in a deep sleep, and I hoped maybe I wouldn't need a nap on Friday, but not so; I was still tired enough Friday afternoon that I took a little nap.

Milray made a great dinner here, and I ate some and drank some Ensure, adding another whopping 600 calories to my dinner intake. As much as I have tried to avoid it, I was so nauseous that I felt like I might vomit. I have worried about the possibility of vomitting with these stents in me becuase it seems like it would really hurt and common sense tells me I should avoid it if at all possible. However, it wasn't possible and I ended up vomitting. Suprisingly, it didn't hurt as bad as I anticipated, and it may have been helpful because the bile bag from my stomach that never fills had to be drained twice after that. I lost all those calories, and I know I need them, but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

Today I am enjoying a little outside time watching my friends plant some flowers in pots for my yard. I have a homemade lasagna for my freezer and food for when my kids get home that they brought over. I have the best friends in the world! It's true, everyone is taking such good care of me and I appreciate it so much!
