| Mother and me |
My mother, Edna Vail, is virtuous about following the doctor’s instructions. I tease her that if standing on her head and peeing out her ear would improve an illness; she would accomplish just that. I am my mother’s daughter so today finds me undertaking a course prescribed my doctor.
This New Year began, for me with the stomach flu. And while the gastro ups and downs have somewhat subsided, I have not been able to kick the nausea. I discussed this with my family physician who told me that sometimes the only cure was a clear liquid diet. That was ten days ago. I have been living on ginger gravol and continuing to eat. The only time I do not feel nauseous is when I am eating, go figure.

| yummy Jello |
I have almost finished this day, my doctor prescribed 48 hours. I hate broth; I did make cup a soup and strained out the noodles. I can only drink so much juice, Jello is my main stay. My apologies for the brief blog but I hear a jell calling my name.
No one asked me if I liked liquid diets!
That would really suck!!!!what is this clear liquid diet suppose to accomplish??I have heard of cleansing...Is this suppose to make you feel better,??? at least you won't feel sick, you will be concentrating on food so much (or the lack of it)that you won't feel anything else but hunger!!
ReplyDeletegood luck ........BTW that is a good picture of your mom....she looks great.......
icky. Feeling sick all the time sucks. I hope that you start to feel better. Also I read up on clear liquid diets and it's apparently suppose to help clear the digestive system so that you feel better. Though it is usually done before surgery.
