Saturday 4:30 wow, no posts today.
Blood pressure is fine.
No hunger, but not eating much, only 400 calories so far.
I will probably pass 1000 today but that is half rations.
Drifting in and out of sleep all day, having many dreams that seem real. No strength. Cannot stay up walking around more than a minute or two.

Sunday 3:35
Can't sleep, probably too many naps all day. Bored of every thing that is physically possible.
Nausea is bad, can't go to bed without throwing up. Stuck in recliner. Citrus no help, makes it worse.
Weak, cannot walk much, probably due to days of half rations.
Temperature and BP are both low.

Rough night, vomited every time I tried to eat something (dry toast) that should have settled stomach. Vomited bile a couple more times. Leanna on way to pharmacy to get meds.
BP and temperature low.

Better, by a bit. Anti-nausea pills helped, kept down a half cup of broth. BP is okay.
Still drifting in and out of dream state.

Sunday, 6pm.
Nothing bad for four hours, nausea is there but just out of reach, or maybe just out of wretch.

Three hours later, all fine.

Monday, 3am, nausea is there but only distantly. Lots of broth, pudding, applesauce, yogurt, all in small amounts an hour or two apart. Exhausted but cannot sleep. BP is fine.

Monday, 6:30, and comes the dawn.
Got up to change to recliner, Misca screams she is starving, Ramses shrugs and says he will accept food. Two cans later I make it to my recliner.
Tired, bored out of my mind, news is all the same story all the time. Book to heavy to hold on my body.
Not really any nausea, big scar is a dull ache.

Monday 10:40
Had a pot pie, 400 calories of more or less solid food.
Blood pressure is 114 without any medication.
Still very tired, exhausted, weak.
But I should get better with a full day of real food,p.
Leanna left me alone with a stock of pudding, yogurt, broth, and milk. My goal is to ingest 1500 calories, about like a serious diet but more than any day in the last seven.
Once I get to the 2200 that my dietician wants me eating i should gain strength very quickly.

Tuesday I got to the office for an hour to send F&E staff a file they needed.

Wednesday I spent most of the day at the office but all I got done was two graphics for SFBOL3g.

Thursday visited Jean, sent HF Stuff to Simone, collapsed, taken home.

Friday stayed home to rest.

Saturday got to office, did some SFBOL3G stuff, went home.

Got on the scale today and found I lost 15 pounds during three weeks of recovery. Not sure that is good.

Not getting better. I can at best get an hour at my desk every other day. Saw two doctors yesterday and they found a bad lab number that may be the problem, but some new doctor will have to deal with it. Hopefully soon.

Been resting, not getting stronger. Mostly just bored. Four freaking weeks of resting.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Friday, December 18, 2015 - 04:00 pm: Edit

Bored of sudoku, jigsaw puzzles, books, YouTube, Netflix, TiVo.

Costs a metric asteroid ton of money, not sure where to get it -- or if I want to risk it.
