Last week was Thanksgiving. That went well. I grilled the turkey outside for all to feast on. Unfortunately I am still feeding myself through my feeding tube. Energy level is still low. I slept through an awful lot of football this week.
Spartans are Big Ten champions!
Yesterday I had an appointment with Dr. Hamdan. He was going to determine if I continued with my chemo later in the day. After my exam the doctor determined it would be too detrimental for my recovery to have the third chemo treatment. So that has been cancelled, again. I'm still not eating anything and, again, I am having trouble even sipping water through a straw. And my mouth is still rather sore. So, I am being scheduled for therapy to learn how to use my throat again. This should help me get into the feeding.
I am disappointed that I will still need the feeding tube when we go to Florida. I was hoping I would have this removed before we left. I need to find out information about what kind of activities I can do with a PEG tube. Like swimming and golf. The internet says it's possible. Dr. Herman is going to provide me with info at my next appointment. Only 4 and a half weeks until we leave for Florida.
Hey Foltzie -- Bet the turkey was at least good for all of the rest of the people who ate it....
ReplyDeleteGood sign that you're being more active. Bummer about needing the tube longer; wonder how therapy teaches one to use their throat? Would be nice to practice with some gin and tonic! Can't think of a better place to recupe that sunny FL.
Take care.......Midget
How is your voice? can you yell at Carol yet? My dad played golf with his tube-actually he used it as an excuse when he played badly. Keep positive and trying to find the "bright" side.
