I've spend most of my days alone since I got home. Elwin has been working every day. He finally gets some time off this weekend. Friday is our 5th anniversary.
I think I ate my lunch too fast today. It doesn't sit well with me. Sometimes I forget that I am supposed to chew my food a lot and eat slowly and of course you aren't supposed to drink with your meal. That is a habit I find hard to break. I am supposed to stop drinking 30-45 minutes before I eat and not drink 30-45 minutes after. It's really tough somedays as I feel thirsty all the time.
I haven't been drinking a lot of water, but I started today. For a few days water did not appeal to me at all. It didn't seem to quench my thirst. I love chewing on ice chips and I do that a lot.
My leg/foot is bothering me today. Took some Tylenol but I may as well  have taken candy. The pain is unbelievable at times.I called the neurologist and the earliest I can see him is Sept 13. I get no relief from the pain. It keeps me awake at night as well as Elwin because I toss and turn and my leg jumps and twitches. I've tried everything.

I had some canned peaches today. A nice treat. It's fun trying new foods but I can only eat such a little bit, I don't want them to go to waste so I have to try and buy small containers of them.It took me four days to eat one banana.
