Speaking of surviving and maybe a little off the ice cream topic....I recently made a similar comment to my spouse. He has developed terrible sleep apnea since radiation and chemo and now he has a machine to breathe with at night. He has had this machine for over a month but never really used it because he said it was too strong and he couldn't breathe. 2 days ago the company finally came and adjusted the machine so he can breathe with it. I have not been able to sleep with him because it is frightening. So the other night he finally used it. I was having trouble sleeping and went down for water around 3am. He assumed I wasn't coming back to bed and turned the machine off.
I told him that this was a life and death thing and I said it sure would be a terrible thing to survive cancer and die because you refused to use a machine.
As for the arteries, he eats mostly good foods and I am guessing that the mucleman stuff isn't really working but I am really at a loss of what to try next. Eating is still somewhat difficult and I suck as a cook so my menu is way too limited.
We will just keep plugging away I guess.
