Some Improvements Day + 52

Well things are still going good, a bit better than I personally had even thought. Yesterdays visit to the Clinic was full of encouraging news. For starters, my body and I earned the weekend off and we do not need to return until Monday.  I could make a habit of this. The second thing is that we are going to try and go the weekend without TPN assistance. That means I have to eat everything my body needs, 2,200 calories and 80 + grams of protein. Normally that would be very easy. In fact, I am sure I have had a single meal that had more in it than what is required. The hard part is that my gut and esophagus are still a mess and I am stuck to a very limited diet (no diary is the biggest issue). So we have our work cut out for us this weekend to make sure I meet the nutritionist’s requirements.  Wish us luck.  I could also mention that I did have an outing with Tracey on my first day off, we went to the grocery store and Target. It felt great to see and do things that once seemed so mundane.

So things continue to go the right direction, some parts are still slower than I would like but I see progress.
