Here I sit 12 days out...

 I am proud to report that the absolute misery seems to have taken a hike. I have done as advised and just concentrated on fluids and movement. I have *not* been focusing on my protein, or my vites. My plan is to dive into those better Monday (tracking and such). 

My husband is doing great. He can get in his shakes, his fluids, and still eat without hurting miserably. He is also bad about sneaking carbs and stinking us out. I am not innocent...I sneak carbs too but it is minimal and so far, I don't have any stinky side effects. 

I ordered a sample pack of nectars and I am about to go try my first. I hope I like it! 

Today was my first trip to the grocery store...interesting. I bought the kids a lot of convenience food so that I can figure this eating thing out without having to cook our normal big dinners. 

My spirits are better than they have been. It hurts like crazy every time I sneeze (and sadly I do it often as we are having major dust storms)...I have some pain lingering, but I don't feel on the verge of death anymore. 

 
It will only get better from here!!  

That's good news.

I'm glad you're feeling better!

 I'm glad things are looking better for you. I have been thinking about you a lot since your last post. Every day will get better. It will just happen more slowly than you want it to!

Wonderful and it will keep getting better each and every day !

Glad to hear you're on the mend.

 It's so great to hear that you're doing so well so shortly out of the gate. Thanks for the update!!!

I'm so glad you're feeling better. Take it easy on the vitamins. Go slow and gradually build up.
