Since my initial 2014 entry I have not felt like writing--I did a lot in my head as I lay around on the couch, but none of my words were written out. My energy levels are improving with a diet change and with a lot of rest; it will be interesting to see how often I feel like writing.
My first biopsy (1-6-2014) results returned inconclusive--they said the cells were "Atypical" and they wanted to do another one--this time with a needle instead of the scope down my throat.
The needle biopsy was done yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I'd envisioned. In fact, since they didn't put me completely out, I came out of it more energetic than I've been in a long time.
Brother-in-law Steve (a registered pharmacist) has been advising me on diet and managing my enzyme pills. So I have a pretty bland diet--no chili, tacos, etc. I get toast, eggs, baked potato, noodle soup, baked chicken, etc. The enzyme pills have to be taken before any food; they help my stomach digest and process anything I eat that have fats or protein in it.
I have been gaining weight since starting on the enzyme pills two weeks ago. The hospital scales showed 107.8 pounds yesterday morning. A week & a half ago it was 103.5.
