Just another thing to talk about. Ever notice that when your not feeling well most of the time when you eat
something that is hot and soothing you start feeling better? Well this is what it is all about. And for me it was always fresh hot soup. Going back to when i had my BMT and living in a sterile bubble for many months with out having any access to any solid food of any kind but only being fed by an intervenes line using a type of nourishment called TPN. However i never felt hungry because my bowels shut down. and throughout the following months i was always lightheaded and always feeling disoriented. Then when i was finally able to leave i had some home prepared hot food and like magic i was feeling that this was the first time that i had eaten. It is amazing at what a good hot meal can do for you. Always try to eat the best that you can... 18's Marty On Mon, Nov 27, 2017 at 1:16 AM, Marty Gartenberg <wa2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Joyce, > > Yes I am glad to be back at home.
