I am thinking that today is a good day to be alive even as we honor the memories of those brave men and women who gave up their lives in service to their country. It's a beautiful sunny day ... sunshine and green, green grass, and Sarah is home, and my world is just right.
I am still suffering the effects of the TCH infusion on Thursday. I am still fatigued with that body numbing tiredness that knocks me out, and robs me of precious minutes. And eating is till hard ... everything I eat causes me GI pain. Nothing tastes normal but I am convinced that I will always be able to find something that will be edible for the moment.
This weekend it is sweet ice cold watermelon and in a few days it will be something else. It just seems a little odd that a big part of my world now is finding foods that I can eat and forcing myself to eat just so I can fight this monster.
David and Sarah are home for dinner, so we picked up some hormone-free ribeye steaks from Tom Leonards, and marinated them for about six hours. Beef still tastes good but I will have to split a steak with Sarah because a whole one is just too much. I can still eat rice so I cooked rice with chicken stock and topped it with fried shallots and crispy bacon. I also made some oven roasted potatoes which I am not always sure I will be able to eat. Potatoes are iffy ... creamy, soft food does not always taste good. I definitely cannot eat anything creamy and sweet. I am not doing well with sweet things.
But I am grateful for today. I will gladly take it.
