Eating Better…
Share March 25, 2008 | Health & Lifestyle
This morning the patient took all his meds. And in addition he took the vitamin/mineral supplement too. And then, after telling him he needed to eat so he can get strong again and fly back to the Philippines, he ate a small piece of dark chocolate, and then some oatmeal with boiled egg and one and a half cups of warm milk.
This was a major breakthrough from yesterday, when he basically ate nothing… only a little bit of warm milk to wash down his meds. So, I’m very happy that he ate pretty substantially this morning. I was about ready to spoon feed him at this point. I don’t care if he’s terminal or not, if he wants to be strong he needs to eat. I don’t want him to die of starvation before the pancreatic cancer gets him. So, my mission is to make sure he eats, and eats well…
Right now the patient is watching CNN. He loves CNN. And it keeps his mental attention going. I’m trying not to let him just sleep all day. And, we’ll see about getting him some sleeping pills so he can sleep through the night and be more rested. And that will help us sleep through the night too.
