I have not been posting much recently as there has not been much to report. Basically very slow progress, eating a little bit more every few days, but barely enough to mention. I am now at the point where I have three small meals per day plus one whole bag of 'feed' but no supplements. The next step is to increase the size of the meals and reduce the amount of feed I use, which I am building up to now.
I have actually been feeling more tired this last week or so, but at times it all becomes a blur such that it is hard to tell if I am better or worse! My throat is getting very dry at night, which is waking me very early, so that might be contributing to the tiredness.
Today I had a breakthrough as I was able to eat a whole cheese sandwich, which was an improvement on much more moist foods (or occasional tiny bits of drier food) not to mention a psychological victory, spurring me on to go our for a walk for 25 mins at the end of the day, leaving me feel somewhat refreshed.
Another couple of weeks and I'm back at the hospital for a checkup, so I have to make sure I'm eating well and my weight is up. The next big milestone is eating enough to sustain my weight, after which I'll be allowed to get the PEG removed, but I think I'm still a few weeks off (or more).
