Feeding Frenzy

Since discharging from the hospital one week ago, I have been on a feeding frenzy.  I have lost so much of weight because of the abdominal distention that physically I look like a 12 year old buy but with a stomach of a seven month old pregnant women. I have been taking all kinds of nutritional foods, especially liquids ones since I still have a limitation of taking in solid foods. I have lost my sense of taster about two months ago now and my food either taster sour, bitter, salty or sweet. When I closed my eyes and you give me food to eat, I won't be able to tell what food you just gave me. They all taste lousy and hard. So, it's been very challenging to gain back some weight. Even drinking water taste sour!

My swellings on my legs have improved a little with the new medication that I am taking but it's still too slow. My abdominal distension is getting bigger back and I need to go for another tapping this week, hopefully, I can a get a slot tomorrow. It's painful and uncomfortable.

I am still suffering from cancer pain because I am not taking the optimal painkillers because of the side effects of opioid drugs. It's a trade-off I got to live with for now if not my stomach functions will be severely impaired.

Thanks again to Khadijah and Yeong for bring me some herbs and medication to deal with the legs swelling and stomach distension. What a friend to have when I needed help most. They have been constantly by my side encouraging me on.
