Four weeks...

Jan 31, 2012

It has been four weeks.  Four long, hard, crazy weeks.  After two weeks when I could start eating pureed foods, I felt a lot better; more human.    I have been living on blended chili, tuna, applesauce, and oatmeal.  The last few days I have been working on non-blended foods like eggs and fish.  That did not go so well.  Today I had scrambled eggs for breakfast.  They got painfully stuck.  After a few minutes, I threw them up.  I sipped water for a while and at lunch I tried to eat fish and mashed potatoes.  They, too, got stuck and came right back up.  I called the nurse and she said that eggs are notorious for getting stuck.  Once that hapens, everything is irritated and swollen which makes food harder to keep down.  Now I have to go back to liquids for a day, then purees for a day, then back to soft foods.
