No change...

Hi Folks,

I am going on a liquid diet from today to try and help improve my digestive system. Soup and liquids is all I will be taking so anyone out there have any good recipes for wholesome veggie soup please pass them on.

I think my problems started with those antibiotics a week back. They had clear my system out of all bacteria good and bad, which mean the food is now just sitting there for my digestive system to cope with by itself. Which under the present state is not coping too well. This short bowel syndrome is not good...

Is this is summer I wonder what will the winter bring. I have been feeling the cold all day today and my feet are like two blocks of ice. I had decided to stay in my bed to keep warm today. I even set up the laptop to surf and keep me amused. Elaine and the boys are taking good care of me and I couldn't do without them. I even had to put on the heating in the morning and at night just to warm up the house.

Elaine took the boys swimming today, well Jordan and Ethan, Michael tagged along and was in a cream puff because he was not allow to play games again. More on that later...anyway on the way home Elaine dropped into Gala to pick up some stuff and when she got back to the car, the car door swung out and hit her on her nose. She was in a lot of pain over it and I give her a couple of pain killers to help with the pain. Such luck eh !!! She says if it comes out as a bruise people would think that I had hit her...I said I don't care about that as long as she is okay...

Now back to Michael, He was banned from games the past two days as he lied to his mum about the time he had been on and also for going over his limit on many occasions. Yesterday he brought up the subject of his punishment during dinner and I said to him that I am fed up with his attitude towards his gaming habits and also because he does nothing else apart from that and TV. He does not call on his friends or go out for walks or do anything to amuse himself except annoy his brothers. So I said to him to make up his own punishment and let us know about it. Then today he decided to go and play games again. So I asked him what was his punishment and he said it was the two days that he was banned from games. Then I reminded him that during the two days in question he was caught playing games anyway so where was the punishment. I said to him he would not be allowed to play games until he become more sensible about it. Hence his cream puff. When Elaine ask the boys to go swimming he did his usual I don't want to do anything attitude but I made him go into the car anyway. When he came back from his trip he was in much better mood...kids...

I had a chat with Jordan today about me and my concerns. I said to him that he have to start maturing a bit more faster as he need to support Elaine when I am not here. I feel that he has the right to know what could happen and to plan for it rather than groping in the dark when it comes around. I also had chatted to Elaine about it and she keeps saying not to think about it and said I would be cured. But I am only planning for all occasion not just the better and cured me but the weak and dying me as well. Until I am on chemo and have more data to say that I am being cured then I have to plan for all outcomes. As I said before I am not bitter or angry about my illness but shite happens and I have to live with it and move on. Dwelling on dreams can also be catastrophic when shite does falls too.

Ending with shite my system is now cleared again and I feel less bloated than before. The only annoying thing is that I can feel pain when the lump used to be. It gets worse during the night and especially when I relax my muscles there. the pain had woken me up on several occasions during the past week. I just hope it will get better before I start on chemo again.

I had bought some Natural Cellular Zeolite to try out. I had read a lot about this and I am doing to add this to my arsenal of alternative therapies. The seller had kindly email me offering advise as he said his wife and 50 others are taking this to aid their recovery as well. Well I see that there is nothing to lose from it...

Later,

Sai
