Today marks the 10th day that I’ve been on a soft/bland food diet. This in response to my little bout with a partial intestinal blockage a few weeks back. But after 10 days things are still not 100%. I have had a few problems of feeling excessively bloated after meals and it unfortunately lasts for several hours. But on a positive note, the signs of the blockage have disappeared. So tomorrow the doc is supposed to call with instructions on what to do next. Along with the soft/bland flood diet, I have been on a high dose of steroids. Steroids, for those who don’t know, are the bane to my existence. It’s because of the steroids, prednisone to be exact, that I have osteoporosis and have broken 18 bones in the last 6 years. So it’s imperative that I get off this stuff as soon as possible. A special thanks to my doctor for keeping me out of surgery.
