Real Food

I'm getting all my food by mouth and starting to eat real food. I can't put much variety into my diet yet, but...

Meat - Grilled fish. That's the only meat I can eat, but I like fish. The next attempt is looking like crock pot pork chops. They cook 4 hours and come out very tender and moist.

Vegetables - About anything in small servings.

Carbohydrate - Ramen noodles. That's about it from the carb group.

Breakfast - Fried eggs.

My next food target is a Chinese buffet in about 2 weeks.

Work is tougher than I thought. I still need about 12 hours of sleep a day. I was expecting the early phases of recovery to be mainly eat, sleep, and work. Right now it looks like an 8-hour day is going to require me to be in bed around 8:00 or 8:30. That's going to be quite a change for my body. Fortunately, my body clock is so messed up it has no clue what's going on.

Tracheotomy tube comes out Thursday. I should be scheduling the rest of the little patch-up stuff this week.
