Some of the side effects from the meds is extreme dryness in mouth and nose and all my senses are working overtime. That means I'm very sensitive to smell and test. Topping that with nausea, eating isn't always easy. So I tend to skip my meals and just grab something in between. Not the healthiest way, I know. I have the sweetest husband who has taken over making dinner when he is home and he makes sure there are leftovers put in the freezer for me for when he's away for work every 2 weeks. I haven't been good at eating the meals, but now that is also going to change. So far I've had dinner EVERY day since he left about a week ago :)

    does chewing gum help with dry mouth? You could also try using a neti pot to irrigate your nose and sinuses.

    hope you will be eating better too, lots of warm quilt hugs, sue in CA

    Hi Sue :)
    Yes it does! I have never in my life chewed so much gum as I do now....lol
    Don't know what a neti pot is, but I have a nosespray that's actually just some oil to moist a bit.
    I still have gotten my hot meal EVERY day, so I've been a good girl ;-)
    Hugs back!

My dad would have turned 72 years today. Happy Birthday, Dad !! And on this date, 6 years ago, my father in law, passed away. My father followed him 4 months later. Then my neighbour has a birthday today too, and she turns 40 today....lol I don't normally dwell on dates for when loves ones has passed away, but I remember I called my dad on the way home from the hospital, after my father in law had passed, to tell him the sad news and at the same time, wish him a Happy Birthday. But I believe that we only borrow the body we have each life and that our soul lives on, so to me, they are not really gone :)

Day 28 – Time to catch your breath

Stay under your breath means not getting so far ahead of yourself that you need to stop for recovery. Today is about looking at your life and be honest about how you've been running it. Pedram talks about getting out of breath when you do too much too fast and the need to stay focused to prevent this. Again, check the workload, delegate, rearrange etc. Remember to do the same in your private life as well.
