Thanksgiving Day

Thursday November 28, 1991

Thanksgiving Day.

Well, I've lost 9 pounds in 9 days now. I feel worse again today. This will be a lay down day. I'm weak and dizzy and also thirsty. I'll probably need more IV tomorrow per the nurse on Tuesday.

I'd love to taste the turkey Frank is BBQing today. Maybe tomorrow.

The oatmeal goes through very fast. I feel like doing nothing today. I don't even want to talk on the phone.

I decide to enjoy some turkey, dressing and gravy. I can only manage 3-4 tablespoons but it does taste good.

Frank has alot of turkey to eat by himself!

I Manage to Make a Pecan Pie

Wednesday November 27, 1991

No better today. I did sleep well and felt somewhat better when I first got up. I even had some scrambled egg and toast but an hour later I was in the bathroom and every 15 minutes all day. I decide not to eat to solve that. I manage to sit and stand most of the day. Frank does all the chopping and I put together turkey dressing. Later I manage to make a pecan pie.

I'm a little hungry at 8 p.m. so eat some flavored rice. It tastes good, but gives me terrible gas and pains all night. I'm up often, don't sleep well.

I feel good enough to talk on the phone today.

Looks like Mom is determined to celebrate Thanksgiving with traditional turkey and stuffing, and even pecan pie. Who is she making it for? She can't eat!
