Getting better, despite everything

Yep, Husband said it himself. He IS getting stronger, despite the lack of sleep, despite the ongoing pain in the behind (I HAD to say it :-D ).

Food - back to normal. Just avoiding spicy stuff for now, as he needs to re-train his stomach to handle it!
Drink - lots of Ribena and Pink Dolphin peach flavoured water (he does not like plain water, unless it is ICE COLD), Earl Grey tea (with milk and one sugar!), and Enercal milk.

I have been giving him Enercal milk since Monday night - it is what he drinks last thing at night and first thing in the morning - and I can already see what a difference it makes. When he gets up in the morning he has the energy still to go downstairs and say Hi to my parents, and then come upstairs again - and this is all before he has breakfast! Contrast this to the days prior to drinking this milk, and he used to be absolutely wiped out in the mornings and could barely get himself up to eat his breakfast!

So, Yes, despite everything (including himself!!) he IS getting better daily. Now all we need is for the sore to HEAL UP ASAP, and we can get on with chemo and get on with LIFE!!

One final piece of news - re my Mum: She seems to have fully recovered from all the 'trotting' she had to do last week. Still being careful with food, but generally much better! We were so lucky that my sis-in-law had sent her maid back with me to KL, because the timing was perfect...my Mum did not have the strength to do anything, and the maid was able to take over. We owe a HUGE THANK YOU to my bro and sis-n-law.

Short and sweet today folks - for a change :-) - and no depressing news either!! We are definitely not out of the woods yet, but at least we are not in the deepest, darkest part of the forest either.

Hope life is treating everyone well, despite the miserable economy, and remember: Stay safe, stay HEALTHY!

Till next time..
