What a week. Difficult times with sleep finally resolved with a drug from my GP on Wednesday. Starting to catch up on rest and with that has come some energy. Last few days have been much better. Was at cottage on weekend and a 10 year old girl asked me why I used a feeding tube and didn't just drink the Neutren. Out of the mouths of babes. Got up the next morning, tasted it...not horrible...haven't used the tube since!
Am now trying to get much more nutritious ...it's a work in progress but coming along each day. Had some wonderful visitors who brought energy and kind words as well so it all helps. Actually played 18 holes in a charity event which was a major goal I had set months ago. Worn out the next day but worth it. Even hit a few decent shots.
Number 1goal is to eat a healthier diet and gain some weight. As I get more active I burn more calories so I'm stuck at a paltry 140... certainly no 'gun' shows in the near future. Went to Swiss Chalet tonight and actually got down most of a baked potato and half a chicken thigh. First meal out.
I do feel I am on the up finally. I have, however, a much more realistic perspective. I know it,s a long road and there will be times/days where things aren't progressing as I would want them...dealing with theses is also part of the recovery process.
Thanks to the great many of you who send me thoughts, ideas, and wishes....food is not the only fuel.
Warmth to you all,
Peter

Hi Peter Good to get your more positive blog this week. The golf, the weight a little better, Swiss (are you that hungry?), and your general attitude. I think we are almost at the end of the journey. We shall all be so relieved, and frankly, I'm sick and tired of your complaining. Just kidding, Peter. You know how much it means to us to see someone beat this. Continued improvement through this week. We think of you both. Cheers brian
