More from Wednesday

Food

People are wonderful in looking for things they can do to help and lately the most common offer is food.

Food for Anne is a little awkward.

We both went on a much-needed weight-loss program last fall.  She has been amazingly true to her diet even through all of this.  She eats mostly protein, veggies and fruits with no carbs like sugar or wheat products.  She is the lightest she has been in many years and would like to stay that way so she is not a lot of fun to cook for.

Food for Ron is very awkward.

My anti-nausea meds and my antibiotic meds are fighting for control of my stomach with no clear-cut winner in sight but the antibiotics have been winning too many rounds.  Tuesday I threw up several times, Wednesday only once.

I'm trying to figure out how many minutes after each type of med I am the most or least likely to keep things down and eat accordingly.  I get blood tests Friday May 25 and if they show that the infection is down I hope I'll be off the antibiotics and able to eat more.  But for now, I'm not eating much.

We do appreciate all the offers though.

When several members of our families come at once they usually bring a picnic-type meal with them.

Visitors

Oh yes, there will be a fair bit of family here on the weekend.  You are welcome to visit then too and you can visit with my family as well as me, but if you want a more private visit wait until Monday.  Be sure to either check the blog or phone first as there is always a chance that I'll make a visit to Kingston, especially if the infection is gone and they can start some of the other things they want to try to make me more comfortable.
