The adventure continues.
Tor felt pretty low on Saturday, but he's been asking for hugs to help him deal with it, and he says that helps a lot.
Getting Tor to eat enough is still a challenge. Last night, though, he managed some diluted mashed potatoes and even a little bit of sole meuniere (dissolved on the tongue). He's very tired of sweet shakes (especially chocolate), and was glad to have something savory. According to my notes from our pre-op appointment with Dr. Schendel, he is now entitled to move from a pure liquid diet to a "no chew" diet. This opens up more possibilities. Hopefully he'll get his caloric input up.
He has stopped taking the narcotic pain meds (he hated how they taste and they made him very sleepy). And he doesn't really need tylenol or ibuprofen, but takes them occasionally. We're still trying to keep him on track with 20 minutes of icing every hour. It's amazing how time flies when all you do is ice, sleep and eat.
Tor, we continue to track your progress.
ReplyDeleteHang in there. I know not being able to eat regular food must be quite a challenge, but I am glad tohear that your pain is a lot better. Keep up the ice.
We look forward to hearing about more
improvement in the coming days.
In the meantime, lots of hugs from The Comptons!!
