Well, it is Wednesday, and Husband STILL has the trots... though, having taken the relevant anti-diarrhoea medication as prescribed by the oncologist, it has reduced in frequency. So let's see how it goes today, cos if it is still very bad then the oncologist has recommended not taking one of the meds (UFT, the chemo med) until his tummy has stabilised again. Can definitely say that this is NOT a good way to lose weight.
As for me, for a change I have been quite "good". Went swimming on Monday - 1.25km (ie, 25 laps/50 lengths, of a 25m pool) in less than one hour, cooked enough food yesterday to last a few days (especially given Husband's lack of appetite!), did the laundry, ironed everything and put it all away, and today have been to the gym - 3km brisk walk in less than 30 mins, followed by some weight workout for the upper body. Now let's see if I have the will-power (as opposed to the wont-power) to keep doing this on a regular basis. Plan is to go swimming again on Friday - and if it rains then I go to the gym instead (though I have to get a new pair of jogging shoes first, the last pair just died on me!!).
That's the brief update for today. Keep Husband in your thoughts and prayers that his stomach will revert to normal and he can continue with his chemo meds - in his ongoing fight against this cancer.
So, till next time, stay safe, stay HEALTHY!
