Say no to toast

My excitement in the past 24 hours consists of the fact that I finally got hungry last night.  I decided I was enough better that I didn't need to listen to the doctor's advise of clear liquids only.  So I made toast.  And put butter on it.  Suffice it to say that my stomach made it quite clear it was not happy with my choice of food.

Today Hermida made me really yummy pureed potatoes with NO dairy and the most delicious brothy soup I have ever had in my life.  I eat a few bites every 2 hours.  My stomach grumbles, I get a little nauseous and burpy, then I go back to sleep.  I never knew bland food could taste so good.

I am drinking plenty of liquids and trying to decide if I can make it to the Breakfast Program tomorrow.  Since I am tired just walking up and down the stairs to the kitchen, right now I am leaning toward no.  But I am definitely much, much better than Saturday and Hermida says she can see improvements in my appearance and the sound of my voice even within the day today.

I guess I am disappointed because I expected to feel better than I actually do by now.
