Had my C-Scan on Monday as well as a visit to the dentist at PMH. Dental report was very good as I have been following the fluoride protocol. Salvia test show a little salvia...a level 6 whatever that means. Lindia, the dentist said that it's really very much a individual 'crap shoot' how much each person ends up with. Salvia levels can improve in the first year or so but never reach adequate levels compared to what is needed to function normally when eating.
I was very lethargic on Tuesday I think because all the dye etc. from the scan was leaving my body. Wednesday I awoke with more energy and drive and had a good day to the point where I did some resistance exercises on my TRX system. Trouble sleeping Wednesday night led to a slow Thursday. I think it was partially because I was going off the drug for ' restless led syndrome' I had been taking to help me sleep. Back to good energy and another workout on Friday. Good sleep last night and feeling good this morning.
Busy week ahead. Meet with PMH team on Tuesday to review C-Scan results, which hopefully will be good, then hoping to get the tube out. I say hoping because I am 'hoping' that the surgeon on my team will agree to remove it instead of me having to wait until August 11th for my scheduled appointment. I am hopeful!
I have a meeting at 11 that day with a dietician who I hope, there is that word again, will help me get my body back. I need to get a better handle on what to eat and when given my restrictions in terms of amounts, what will go down, what creates dryness, etc. Unfortunately most all fruit creates instant dry mouth. Oddly enough I can eat some nuts and even the odd potato chip.
My daughter Erika arrives with husband Lanny and two grandchildren Madlyn and Timmy on Thursday. Busy week ahead.
Mornings at the cottage are starting to feel like Fall already. Only 12C at 7 this morning.
Had my first business conference call in months this week. 45 minutes on the phone talking was both demanding and 'drying'. I am scheduled to speak at several large events from mid September on so have to get back into presenting shape. Will work on that in next 6 weeks....enough from me. Hope you are all well and enjoying the later part on the summer.
Warm Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter. What a stage of life to become a 'fussy eater'. However, there don't appear to be any surprise events in your recovery. Here's to the end of the feeding tube. A piece of surgical tube is a thing of beauty, depending on where they stick it. Here's to four square a day using a knife and fork. We think of you.
