So sorry you're having such a rough time. You must feel like the Dustin Hoffman character in "The Graduate" - receiving unsolicited advice from every corner.
So in my corner, ;) - fluids - lots of fluids so that you don't become dehydrated.
And here's one that may or may not work - miso soup. They can be found in the grocery store and its a packet you mix with hot water.
Sleep alot and take care Vickie - we're all thinking about you.
so how are you feeling today?
Just checking in to see if you are feeling better today. Hope so.
Willie :)
Slick, I'm hoping and waiting to hear you're feeling better. Hopefully you can keep the food down... do remember to drink a lot! ;)
How about some porridge? Yes, I know some people hate it, but you can actually make it taste quite nice. :)
1 cup of fine grated oatmeal
1 cup milk
1 cup of water
a tsp of salt
When it's cooked, put a spoonful of butter in the middle and sprinkle with sugar (don't overdo it! :D ) Some also like to pour milk on.
A cup of (camomille) tea goes well with it.
I so hope you'll feel better soon. Take care, my friend!! :)
(((((hugs)))))

Lots of (((HUGS))) from me!!!
Good morning everyone. I want to first thank each and every one of you for your kind words and expression of care and concern. Truly, this is the sickest I've ever been and I am listening to the doc and taking everyone's advice. Last night and this morning I've got the feeling that I'm on the upswing and meds have finally kicked in.
I've been basically living off watermelon, apple sauce, white toast and bananas all week so last night I was hungry for something hot. I made sweet potato fries. Yummmmmmyyyyy!!! This morning I was hungry again so I had a scrambled egg on a piece of toast. Randi, I'm going to try that oatmeal later on today.
I really am getting better finally and I know not to push it, although it's hard when you are sitting on the couch and all you see is cat fluff everywhere. I have such an urge to vacuum.....but will leave that big scary thing in it's hidey hole for now. Oh yes, and I've lost 15 lbs. over this.
Please accept my apology for not keeping up with the other threads. I believe that PCB is getting married today?? What a blessed event that will be. That, and all the PT babies......is what we should be focussing on. :)
So, do you think that we have some kind of limit that we can focus on??? Do you not think we are capable of focussing on all these happy events, AND YOU TOO??? DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE US!Quote:

I hope you get well soon!!! Sorry for just posting now but I have been following!
See Slick there is a silver lining to every black cloud, the weight loss I mean, happened to me as well, the only good part about being that sick, so glad to hear you feel much better, LEAVE THE HOUSEWORK alone,believe me you don't want to be over doing it just yet, you will take one step forward and three back if you do, please just rest, it is what your'e body is telling you to do and what you need to recover, remember i have been there , done that, but hey it is really great to hear you sounding so positive. Take care.
