So How's It Going?

                  
Yea, well my GI doctor wanted me to be on a clear liquid diet; I figured out that it is probably in case I need emergency surgery.  But no call from him today yet and an appointment with U of M not until next Wednesday, I was starving on the liquid diet.  I had some applesauce, a scrambled egg and toast.  I will have to take my chances here and eat soft food.  Donaldo bought me some coconut milk; it is like water really.  It is supposed to have all the electrolytes in it and natural sugar.  He thought it would be good for me.  I have had it before-it doesn't have much taste, but hey, I might as well drink it.  Made some sugar-free jello-YUCK!!  That's a last resort food if you ask me.  The low-sodium organic chicken broth isn't bad, but a little of that goes a long way.  And isn't chocolate a clear liquid?? I am sure it is.  I do have to be careful because the more I eat, the more my stomach hurts.  Meanwhile I am just hanging in there.  We skipped swimming today and yesterday so we will see about tomorrow.  I don't want to become a couch potato.
