1-27-10 Wednesday

Good evening my Dream Team! It seems unreal that just yesterday I was in the hospital having the dilitation procedure done!!! Today I have done fantastic! Taking my vitamins was fine, eating was fine! I actually was quite worried that now I'd be able to eat too much though. But... I couldn't eat any more really... just what I did eat, went down so much easier! It didn't get stuck, and it didn't come back up!!

I was to the group nutritionist today, and they go over all of my food journal, checking protein intake, calories, and liquids, etc. I can hardly believe, today was Day #52 and I have kept a food journal every single day... and it shows every single thing I have eaten for these 52 days!!!! I have been set back to stage 2 like I had mentioned before, mostly liquid protein shakes, soups, etc. But my throat isn't sore anymore, and just really felt great all day today. The biggest thing for me though.... I want to start doing more things then, but I just relaxed most of the day, I did run some errands this afternoon, and took the kids to their basketball practice, but I did not walk in the school. Will try and wait a couple of days, to get my strength built back up!

Kind of a bummer this morning... I did gain 3 pounds due to the IV fluids they pumped into me yesterday... before and after the procedure. But.... I know I needed the fluids SOOOO bad... and actually they were my life support, as I was so dehydrated again!! I surely am not discouraged at all, in fact, I am SO optimistic! I look at how FAR I have come... my health is better now than it has been in years!

Well... all for tonight my dear family and friends! My Dream Team!
Love, Eydie
