I had a small breakthrough this morning. With the aide of pain control, calming my swallowing.. I was able to enjoy at least 5-7 oz. from a 10 oz bottle, of a French Vanilla soy/dairy protein shake made by the Kellog cereal corporation.
This is the first bit of dairy based protein that I've been able to enjoy since surgery.
My body was happy from the rumblings of vitamins, protein, fiber, potassium, and carbs, as they raced their way down, crossing the finish line, and into my stomach.
Maybe we'll try some yogurt later on and see if I can get some of its good bacteria down in me to wage war on the anti-biotics.
Hey Tony, sorry I've been a little out of touch lately. Sorry to hear you're dealing with pain and complications from surgery.
ReplyDeleteI think I told you I had my tonsils out when I was 5 or 6. I still remember it being the worst sore throat I've ever had... to this day. It will take some time for things to heal. Just keep pushing through it and take it day by day or moment by moment, if you need to.
If I can survive tonsillectomy and then cancer treatment, I know you can do it.
There is a great book I recommend you read, it's called "The Power of Now" by Eckart Tolle. It can compliment your breathing techniques by teaching you how to remain in the moment.
Don't forget, I am here for you for anything.
Take it easy,
Rich
