yea Christine, it just really snuck up on me this week. A few days without enough fluids and BAM downward spiral.

Also, I am super pleased to report that I just ate an actual pulled pork bbq sammich and I could taste it. Had to take very small, very well chewed bites... but I did it! If I can keep the swelling under control and the fluids up, I think I might be turning the corner.

ok off to bed as ordered and sleeping in tomorrow. Thanks guys, you really have been some of the best support I have had through this. All of you. This place is full of saints and angels sent by God to comfort the weak and weary. I will always be grateful.
