food

an early appointment at hospital to see the orthodontist. Teeth are super so that's a positive. A lot of people lose teeth, or have to have them removed as a side effect of the radiotherapy, so feeling good about that.

Had enough energy to go to Sainsbury's with Keeley , although I admit I sat in the caf while she did the business. After doing the weekly and twice weekly shop here for ever it was the first time I had set foot in the shop for 5 months. Small pleasures.

Frustrated that mouth, other tha teeth, is not improving. Desperate to get it better and at least begin to think about eating real food. It's been 3 months since I've been able to regularly eat anything. The novelty of emptying a syringe into a pipe in your tummy wears off very quickly.

Eating is a simple pleasure and one which we take totally for granted when we are well. It is also a social thing which we do together, whether it's sitting round the table to eat or going out for a meal. We haven't been able to do this since march. Part of what spurs me on to getting better is the prospect of having a cheese sarnie, sitting down with Keeley, Archie. & Grace and eating a spag Bol that I have made and going out with them all and ordering a big, dirty burger.

As I said before, simple pleasures that we take for granted.
