Hope readers appreciated the double take on yesterday's blog, at no extra charge!!! My chat with nutritionist yesterday may have revealed the cause of feeling sick. Apparently trying to flush my gastro tube with water quickly with syrlnge so as to feel the strange sensation of having a drink from the bottom up is not good 'tekkers'! Slowed it down before bed and lo and behold I didn't feel sick, best nights sleep for a while - until smoke alarm battery decided to die at 0730hrs, the warning beep...
He has had only two blasts and he said to me at 2 this afternoon, that he had a funny taste in his mouth
That can't be from the rt already can it?
I might add that it was "before" lunch and not my cooking :)

I wonder if this blog is a good thing to do

Despite drinking much more water than normal the inside of my mouth tastes of strange blandness, with saliva seeming much thicker.

Didn't want to get up at all...

The mask rested on his right eye too much so he had blurry vision afterwards so we will have to mention that tomorrow.
29 to go and they have changed the dates...
