What a difference a month makes....
A month ago my mother arrived....about 105 lbs., shaky, barely walking, pale as death, dehydrated, unable to tolerate cold, exhausted, able to eat 1 or maybe 2 cartons of yogurt and nothing else in a day, taking morphine 4 or 5 times a day, and essentially waiting to die. Today...she weighs 117, is not at all dehydrated, her color is good, goes for a walk every day with my son, walked 3500 steps with me on the beach on Sunday, eats normal meals (and then some), and is antsy to go home and dig in her garden. She is off morphine, and takes a single Lortab a day for pain...before bed, so her sleep is not disturbed. Today was an eye opener....her menu.... Breakfast....two slices toast with butter and peanut butter, cup of tea Mid-morning snack...carton of yogurt, juice with pedialyte Lunch....salad bar at Ruby Tuesday's, iced tea Mid-afternoon snack...can of Campbell's brand canned spaghetti, juice with pedialyte Late-afternoon snack...Dove ice cream bar Dinner...Chicken leg (big one, from a roasting hen), corn, broccoli, and juice with pedialyte Evening snack....who knows....but there has been one every night lately Overnight....12 hours of TPN Is it any wonder she's gaining half a pound a day?

YEEHAW...all the biopsies came back benign!!!! I cried out of joy.
 I am not ready to do this crap again. So, surgery next month or so to even out my tits and then its just playing 'where's waldo' for the next 5 years, but as long I take ownership of my body (get tests and eat right), there is NO reason I can't live as long as my grandma did.Jagg, thank you for sending your angels.
