Tuesday - Eleven Days Post Op

First, thanks to :

• Cousin Bo for your support & knowledge.
• Peggy V, I'll pass your well wishes to Kathy.
• David Lewis ( Dale is president of the David Lewis Fan Club - Detroit Chapter), our good friend in Chicago .

AND: a special thanks to my friend Anthony & his worship group for including us in your prayers.

Today was sorta OK. I think we need to kick up the caloric intake another two notches or so, maybe with more frequent meals. Seems if Kathy gets the least bit hungry nausea starts. It's interesting just how much energy your body needs to heal even if you are not really doing anything. Dinner tonight was veggie pizza (no sauce, no cheese) with pieces of chicken added. Went over well (once again only two packages to open!) I'm trying to make the time to actually cook. I'm making a concerted effort to add more protein to the mix as Kathy seems more able to tolerate it now.

We did good on the therapy side, but because Kathy is not sleeping well she's VERY tired. So we're going to try a different Rx since Ambien has not worked well enough. I'm sure the lack of good rest is contributing to the 'blues factor' .

Still made a little progress, but tomorrow WILL be a better day!

dale......out!
