Im home again, in Huntley. Its funny, I havent yet felt like Huntley is home, but this apartment after 9 days away feels a LOT more like home than the hospital! New meds are really throwing me for a loop. Ive been thru it before, I know Ill eventually get used to them & then not be affected at all. OR...Ill stop taking them! The pain meds are causing the most chaos, but thats to be expected. The stomach med made a HUGE change for the better, and I havent noticed any side effects, so thats a keeper for as long as I need it. My diet is changing again, although Im happy to say not THAT much. In 2007, the Mayo Clinic put me on a diet for gastroparesis thats very restricted, and was very hard to adhere: no raw fruits, veggies, nuts. No high-fiber foods (like oatmeal, which broke my heart--and raised my cholesterol). Talk about a killer, esp in the summer when theres so much glorious produce out there. I have a strong incentive, tho--if I cheat, I throw up. Good enough for me. So, tweaking those shouldnt do items on the new list, Im really just adding a few to my current diet & have to think about what Im doing before I put anything into my mouth. Ill get the hang of it, like everything else, then it wont be a big deal.
