"You make me sick"

 

I am sick. As I write this, it is Wednesday. After a visit to the Doctor I've learnt that apparently I am going to only feel worse over the next few days, so whilst I have an ounce of energy I shall schedule.

Today's TFF is quite un-inspiring. Sorry. It's the Top Five things that I am allowed to ingest. So as you bite in to your dinner tonight or your brunch tomorrow, spare a thought for me will you?

5. Pears - I am allowed three pear halves a day. I usually love pears. Now, they just mock me.

4. Lucozade - This little gem is helping me gain strength. Strength is good for boosting it to the bathroom to hurl.

3. Lemonade Popsicle - Holla! Love these. Because I am dehydrated, yet can't stomach water or much of any fluid, I am eating these like they are going out of fashion. The Doctor said these are great as my body takes the fluid through your absorbent (in my case sponge) mouth, instead of my Giardia ridden tum.

2. Sprite - Sipping flat lemonade has pretty much kept me going. For the first 3 days, this is all that I could have. Downside? I have sore teeth already. Also, I tried ginger beer for obvious reasons. Not so obviously, it didn't help.

1. Soup - Tonight I had dinner. Wattie's 'Soup for One', Tomato flavour is gold. It felt good to eat something warm. It felt good to have something in my tummy. Even if it makes an encore later, at least my body has something to give.
