It's officially 2009 and so far it hasn't been a great beginning for me. I started off the first two days with a stomach that felt a little better, but I've been very uncomfortable since Saturday. It seems as if no matter what I eat, my stomach bothers me. The acid reflux portion is gone (no feeling like I have a ball in my stomach and a knot in my esophagus), but I'm so nauseated. Ed is starting to get worried because I eat a little bit of food and then can't eat any more. Last night I had a biscuit and an ounce of pasta before I gave up, and, for the second time when this has happened, woke up practically faint because I was so empty. We're trying bland foods again and I'm attempting to snack throughout the day, but even graham crackers are proving difficult to swallow. I'm about at my wit's end. Ten days to go before my next chemo and I can't seem to recover from the December 18 treatment.
Before I sign off, I wanted to congratulate Debbie belatedly on the birth of her fourth grandchild and first grandson. I understand mom and baby are doing well. What a lovely way to end 2008!
I hope this finds everyone enjoying a better start than me. :)

Hi Karen,
Sorry you are not feeling that great, hopefully you will feel better as each day passes. Jaycen is doing great and so is Amy. It was quite a whirlwind holiday. I have been making dinners and taking them to Amy's to try and help out. I took down the Christmas decorations and felt like I never even enjoyed them. Seems like I have been on the move during the whole holiday.
Do hope you are feeling alot better soon. Think about you all the time, and you are always in my prayers.
Hope to see you soon.
Love,
Debbie
Hey Best Buddy!
Just read your blog and so sorry to hear you are having such a touch time with your stomach. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help like make a meal or something you think you can eat. Make sure you ask your questions and be assertive! There has been a stomach virus going around but I am not sure that is what you are dealing with here. Keep me posted. Love you, Lydia
