I swear if I eat another mashed potato I'll get sick--ahh, but it is about all DH can easily swallow with other foods. It helps everything go down easily.....we do what we must. I do miss good foods though. A nice prime rib would be grand....probably upset my stomach as I am not use to red meats anymore but still it does sound wonderful. I'm not a big meat eater but once in awhile..oh well it isn't going to happen so back to the wonderful fish...maybe I'll make myself some rice with it this time.
I went to the casino yesterday by myself as Felix was not feeling well, and I ate at the buffet. Normally I never eat anywhere without Felix. Don't ask me why. I don't even like to eat fast food bean burritos, which I know he hates. It is funny, but I felt so guilty, then I felt so ashamed- like I was doing something wrong. Then it felt weird to be by myself. Anyway, I ate my fill and left the table after no more than 3 minutes.
Just thought I would pass that along to you. We develop weird behaviors. We eat a lot of mush food because Felix cannot chew. He can no longer enjoy his favorite Lays potato chips because they hurt his mouth. So coming up with foods is especially difficult for us too.
Thanks for your share redbird. For some reason just knowing we are not alone in these situations make it more tolerable. Not that I'd wish any of this on anyone--I certainly wouldn't but at least from what you said I know I am not the only one who feels like this. And Sudcaro, you are right, we do need to eat foods we enjoy...just lately I really don't enjoy much of anything in the way of foods. Once in awhile when I see a commercial or smell a BBQ going on in the neighborhood--or read elstons yummy chili post then I crave certain foods.
Still raining here off and on--very hard at times. They said it looks like it could end in a week or so??????? Oh well, at least it's not terribly hot so that is a good thing!
Good morning and enjoy your day!
Not sure why but feeling very lonely today..... I move to NC, meet some fine people at the Humane Society, have to quit due to DH's health and I don't hear from anyone anymore from there. I'm sure part of it is not knowing what to say but come on--at least say Hi once in awhile.....I still have friends in CA--they will always be my friends--that is what friends are right? They still write me online but I still have no real contact with them--I am so lonely for human contact.....guess it's just one of those days. Tomorrow will be better. Thank God I have you all here!
We are here. And if misery loves company, you and I are bestest friends!!! I know this one guy at work who always tells me, "Treat yourself, don't cheat yourself!" Well, maybe you and I DO cheat ourselves out of some small simple pleasures.
I hereby give you permission to get a package of your favorite cookies. Then later tonight, you get said cookies and an ice cold glass of milk and voila!! A treat!!! You deserve it, cyn. You really do.
Redbird you are so sweet! I do wish food could bring me some comfort and good feelings but it just doesn't do it anymore. Someday...someday..and as much as I hate to admit it sometimes it does feel good not to be alone in our misery..but I really wouldn't want anyone to go through what we are going through. Since we are both already there we may as well be friends at it! Smile! But someday I want everyone to know I will be back in the real world and I will find my "happy" again and I will do those things I have always wanted to do---someday....I just wish my DH could do them with me.
Why am I not surprised elston--first prize--it did taste like a first prize chili to me!
Good morning everyone!
Looks like we are in for rain for the next week and then the possibility of a tropical storm hitting us.....oh my!
Yesterday my DH and myself had another day of talking...we cried together again...held each other close, he told me I am all he has and he is sorry to be mean at times. He feels so badly that my life is the way it is right now because of his illness and of course I told him that is out of our control and we just have to make the best of this situation. It was a good talk but very emotional and sad at the same time. We need to do that, talk openly more often to keep the communication lines open but it isn't easy.
Hi cyn......I am just getting up and not feeling at all well this morning......but I wanted to say hello and was pleased to read your post........sounds like progress in the relationship.....difficult but so needed.
