Day #10 January 5,2010
I thought I would try to add the image of the Mask I keep talking about. Over the next few days, I will also try to get a picture of me laying on the RT table. I don't know if they allow it but, if they do, I will get one. I am so lucky that so far , this has been the hardest part of the procedure. The side effects are something totally different. Tuesday is the day that I meet with Dr. Holland and Dr. McDonald after my treatment. They go over my progress and look me over to see if everything is going according to plans. This week, there is a little concern about my weight. I weighed in at 168 lbs. I haven't weighed that since high school. That means I lost 5 lbs. this week. This is not a good thing. I think I may have weighed in lst weekd with my heavy coat on so, we will see next week. I am feeding by the stomach tube 4 times per day. I also take in water after each feeding an after i take my meds. I have been trying to drink other liquids to help with the weight. The problem ios that somedays I can drink something , the next day that same item is not a good thing in my mouth. Dr. Holland has been so honest with me about what to expect. He looked at the inside of my mouth today and said it all looked good but, things are going to get much worse before it gets better. Boy, that sure wasn't music to my ears but, at least I know at is coming at me. As I said before, I do have sores in my mouth at this time. They are on the walls of my cheeks. I have been able to put numbing solution to help with the pain. Overall, he was happy with everything and said,"GOOD LUCK SAINTS" and see you next Tuesday. we left the office and headed home. Before I went to bed tonight someting incredible happened. I was able to drink a cup of cold water!!!! Now 10 Down and 25 To Go
