I am trying to eat calories like mad, but I had to get my teeth pulled so it is hard to eat anything except ice cream. I look like a monster because the shots the dentist gave me made big black and blue marks on my face and my neck dissection looks like someone tried to decapitate me.
I love hearing from people who had the same treatment I am going to have and lived to talk about it - lol. I really am usually quite brave for surgeries and I'm a fast healer, but this new stuff and the bolted head to a table ordeal is just horrifying.
I also sleep on my stomach. Will the PEG mess that up? I can't sleep any other way. OH BOY what a revolting development this is. (Anyone old enough to remember that phrase?)
