The weekend seems to have been a good break, although the skin on my cheek/ neck is still very tingley.
It was really tough getting the mouth piece in today, and the fit of the mask is quite tight, but I can just about put up with it.
Saw the registrar rather than the consultant today with the nurse and the dietician. I still weigh the same which really surprised me when I think about how much rubbish I was eating before and now I'm just limited to the ensure. They clearly are packed with everything you need. He said to treat it like medicine today ( which someone else has told me on here I think,) Today I got a load more Ensures, chocolate and vanilla Ones. I also tried one that we'd mixed with milk yesterday and frozen. It was quite nice and it did enable me to talk a little easier for a while too.
The consultant looked at my medicine regime and said it all seemed fine. He just said I'd need to up the morphine this week because it would become more painful, she said up to 5ml and keep taking everythjng else the same.
Going to try to go to work tomorrow morning so I don't loose touch. Will need to take a big drug bag with me!
