Back On The “Sauce”

Boy, does that have a bunch of meanings. I may need a disambiguation page like Wikipedia.

First, I’m back on the Ensure. It just hurts too much to eat. It even hurts to drink the Ensure—it doesn’t sit right in the stomach, and I checked the expiration date—so I started taking one teaspoon of the hydrocodone/APAP "sauce." That means 2.5mg/167mg. Not much, but I’m hoping that it helps. I don’t want to get back into that other issue! Not that I had a problem; I just don’t want one to develop.

It occurred to me today that lying in bed in a semi-reclining position—I’ve been sleeping most of the day—might not be the best thing for me. Something to do with the geometry of the digestive system, the tumor, and the introduction of food/liquids into the alimentary canal. I mean, if my cancer developed as a result of acid reflux, this is the position I developed it in. How I’m going to change that, other than sitting bolt upright, is beyond me right now. But it does give me something to think about. I don’t have the strength to sit bolt upright comfortably for any length of time. Maybe just upright in the recliner?

I’ll make the proper inquiries/notifications on Monday.

BTW, I’m back on the peppermint tea “sauce,” as well.

I’m finally getting around to getting my laundry done, too. Not that I had a lot. When you lay around all day in your pj’s you don’t need to do too much. But now that I have to go to the VLCC every weekday does mean more clothes to wash.

And some good news, my cough is changing; it’s getting more “moist.” It’s not as dry a cough as before, and it does seem to be lessening somewhat.

Kunolunkwa!
