Friday, November 10 - List? I Should Probably Delist!

Thanks Toad,
Well yesterday’s blog was a bit short, however that is a reflection of yesterday’s energy levels. Thank goodness to toad, I had a good excuse.

T0 List or Delist…
I fully intended to be consistent and strong in my resolve to keep working in a number of areas. It seemed that when I became focused on pain relief last week, I did just that, I focused on that at the expense of a lot of other areas. Some areas which I neglected were the weight and exercise programs. This shows up quite dramatically in these two charts. With the weight you can see that I dropped below 170. Needless to say, that when I go to the hospital, as much as Jen and I really like her, I am hiding from the dietician :-).

Jen is being great chasing after me to get my calories up. She buys different foods and combinations of foods. This loss is also in spite of the 3 tubs of chicken soup that friend brought by this week. This is so appreciated, however, my appetite is quite inconsistent and changing all the time. Tonight I did not feel like eating Haagen Dazs ice cream. There has to be something wrong...

Re: Exercise, What happened here?



With respect to the exercise program. This turn of events is of course unfortunate and I can use all the support I can get. Well, it is approaching report card time... so at least I know what I need to look at and what my next step should be.

Next Week

Also I am looking at my last week of therapy. This is very encouraging and if the pain management works, I hope the calories will look after themselves.

... 6 days of RT left...
