4 wounds around the neck, finally 2 healed, and the other 2 are almost there! Hurray!!! Must be all the prayers that everyone is doing for me!!! Can't wait to stop using this sticky Proshield stuff and antibiotics on my neck every day and night!!! Hopefully this means better sleep too! My throat is healing slowly but I managed to drink 1/2 a bowl of some home made Chinese soup. Although it burns a little but I was able to tolerate the pain. It wasn't too bad. Hopefully, in a few more days, I can slowly swallow some small soft piece of food... I'm thinking maybe Jello? Maybe tofu? OMG, I see food and I want to eat it all so badly but I know my throat cannot take it. Food smells so good but too bad my taste buds are so busted. It will take time (who knows when...) to recover. It sucks but I guess as long I can start eating a steady 3 meals a day, I can book the appointment and the GI tube removed!!! Fingers crossed... hopefully, this can happen sometime next month.
The nurse visited me today and she was surprised at how well and fast I'm recovering. She asked what I did, I told her, I am doing the same thing I've been doing. Taking care of myself and continue doing all those recommended stuff by the nurse and docs that I need to do. She said, well, keep doing it because you're looking better and better everytime I see you. I'm very happy to hear that. Also, I do feel better slightly as each day pass. I hope to continue this great trend because in as little as 2.5 weeks, I will get my next dose of Chemo. This time, they are giving me an additional drug and who knows what side effects I will have. Ideally, none! Hopefully, with my effort to try to recover as much, hopefully I can walk in with a super strong immune that I will be able to withstand the week long chemo coming up.
