Had a fairly good night's sleep in the end lastnight, after waking at 1.30 then again at 3am when the laxatives decided it was time to work I felt brilliant after getting back into bed and stayed there until 7am, OK I woke at 6am but snuggled down determined to try and get a little more rest.
My taste is still absolutely awful this morning, it's really putting me off trying to eat or drink. I managed a herbal tea, when hubby got up he brought me a protein yoghurt (lidi) I ate it but it just seemed gritty in texture, hubby can eat the rest of the ones in the fridge, I will get my normal Aldi ones later today, when we get a little shopping.
We went shopping, and I wore a mask and a woolly hat to keep me safe and my head warm. I really didn't enjoy shopping today, I had lot's of reflux whilst walking around the shop, which encountered a few looks from ppl.
We decided that maybe my chicken & ginger soup would be a good thing to try so once we had got home we went about making this simple tastey soup.
After we had sorted out the shopping, hubby drove me over to visit my parents for a little while, haven't seen them for a week, and they haven't seen me since we shaved my hair off. It was great to see them even if only for a couple hours, I was so tired, I just needed to get home.
I ate a small bowl of soup and some crusty bread with butter which tasted better after a sprinkle of salt. I could taste a little of the ginger, and had an orange for dessert, & flapjack, hopefully I have had my calories for today.
Feeling really tired again this evening, but have managed to make it to 8pm.
Hoping tomorrow brings a more flavourful day.
Xx
