2018-07-17 Recovery Day 498

Today was a great day. I had a really good sleep thanks to no diarrhea and no constipation. I had my regular breakfast to start my day and getting ready for taking my morning medication. Since the forecast for today was still high temperatures close to 100F with humidity high above normal, my morning walk with Dean was again moved to between 8:00 and 8:30. Bottomline for today, I felt health wise way above how I have felt the last 5 days.

Hopefully it will stay that way during the night and tomorrow.

2018-07-11 Recovery Day 492

Today was a so-so day. I had diarrhea only in the early morning around 2:30. No diarrhea for the rest of the day! However my energy level was way down. Dianne accredits this to a lack of hydration. Not taking chances I stayed on the special BRAT diet. My oncology doctor, talking with Dianne agreed for me to come in and get to IV hydration.

2018-07-07 Recovery Day 488

Today was not a good day. It all started last night when I woke up because of diarrhea a side effect
I did go for my morning walk with Dean, but it was limited to be close to the house in case I needed to rush home. I was somewhat lucky since I was able to walk for about 30 minutes and even took some PICTURES.

The rest of the day I rested, taking my medication and followed the BRAD diet. For dinner I had banana slices on toast. Hopefully I will have recovered enough to be able to have a good night sleep.

That is it for today, in summary, the day was overall a bad day.

Health wise no complains, no stomach problems or bone pains, only my shoulder discomfort. I rested, if that is what you can called it, for most of the day, the Chaise Lounge Chair, doing some little things, including working on my computers remotely.
