A nice change of scenery this morning on my stroke recovery journey: a walk of about 0.8km down to the home of our old friends Samara and Paul. We stopped for about 1 hour and had coffee and tea, then we walked home again with plenty of blossom about. This morning I reduced my peg liquid feed (directly into my stomach) down to 700ml at 125ml/hour. Last week it was 800ml and when I first came out of hospital it was 1000ml. For the trip today I disconnected the peg liquid feed. I supplement the liquid feed with pureed and mash-able food by mouth.
Overall, I still feel giddy when walking - although I feel this is improving - and a slight feeling of sickness. Feeding and drinking are not enjoyable experiences still. I have resumed taking some of my morning pills in a bid to stop the feelings of heartburn and sickness.
This afternoon I battled my heartburn, sickness and giddiness to cut the front lawn. It was harder work than the rear lawn that I cut last weekend. Today I have felt more unwell than for several days because of my sickness. I hope taking the morning pills again will help.
