End of 3rd week. Dr put her on plan of 5_6 ensures a day and whatever else she will eat. Also topical pain for the tongue sore and a fentanyl patch. Wed and Thur she was a zombie and slept continuously. Took her off patch Fri and seems better. Pain minimal and hydocodone works. Doing good otherwise except the eating part--nothing tastes good. What did you guys do to try and overcome that mental block? Four more to go. Thanks
