Update…

I just talked to my sis in the hospital.  She is doing fine, up and walking around and exercising.  Thank you all so much for your prayers!

****************************************

It is much cooler here today, only at 78 degrees right now with the high for tomorrow predicted to be 70 degrees.  Low tomorrow night of 45.  Quite a change from the upper 90s.  We had a few drops of rain this morning, not even what you could call a trace.  The ground is totally  brown and is crunchy when you walk on it.

I am starting to be able to chew better although my mouth is still quite sore.  I have no taste buds.  Once in awhile I think I can make out a flavor and then poof it is gone.  I will begin my 6th week of recovery on Saturday.  I was told not to expect any real  improvement until at least 8 weeks.  I am back using my c-pap mask so I am sleeping better at night.

Have a Blessed weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Beth

  1. I think of you each and every day without fail as I pray with and for you each day, Twin. I am so grateful, truly, that you can chew some now and that you get a "glimpse" of flavor occasionally. More is coming to you. xoxox

  10. Good news in relation to your sister, Beth. Glad to know that your mouth is starting to feel a little better. Yesterday was so hot and humid here but it is a little cooler today and will be cooler tomorrow as well. I prefer it cooler, I don't take my walks when the heat and humidity are too high. Continuing prayers on your behalf.

  24. Beth, I'm so sorry I've been out of the loop here and not know that your sister was in the hospital needing prayers. I'm so happy to hear that you are feeling a "tad" better each day. That's all one can expect I'm afraid, so you are progressing well. I'm so thankful that you are even here and able to share your days with us again. Prayers for your sister to continue to improve and the same for you dear frend.

  29. Hang in there Beth it will only get better from here on. I too am slowly getting better as I am home for 2 weeks now and the pain is mostly gone, will get stronger as time goes by, will be able to drive in 3 weeks and will get my 6 week checkup at that time as well. You have yourself a great weekend and just think of getting better. Bye for now.

  30. I am so glad that your sister did well with her surgery.

    I am glad, too, that you are improving daily. I can't imagine eating and not being able to taste anything. We have a friend that lost most of his taste buds due to radiation, too. That was 20 years ago and he is still doing fine. xo Diana
