Day 19 - Rest to relive the side effects

Dear Tumor,

By now, I have learned that weekends is where my side effects of nauseousness kick in, It seems like maybe pumping and flushing out lots of water from my kidney on Friday makes me "high" that I don't feel the side effects. Nonetheless, as a "bubble boy" avoid going out in crowed area, it's good to stay at home to rest.

Sadly, my mum went to Cold storage to get me Rachel's organic rice pudding, it was sold out. So I now have to depend on the milk supplements from my dietitian and to swallow as much food as possible to maintain my weight. Last Thursday when I met my dietitian  she is a bit concerned that I'm losing weight. Even though I explain to her the day before I had diarrhea in the middle of the night. Nothing serious, just 2 poos, one hard and one soft. It's the papaya that was taking effect on my bowels. (Sorry to be so descriptive) and the amount of shit must have weight 1kg, cause Wednesday I was 75.5kg then the next day is 74.4kg. I'm so glad I'm fat to begin with this treatment, if not it will be drastic loss.

Hence, the plan is 2 packets of milk on top of everything I eat, as much as I try to stay away from dairy products, my weight is my main priority, also eat whatever I can to maintain the weight.

Surprise of the day is when Maya visited me in lands of wood from KL. Her hubby, Jitesh whom I got to know him in Ladakh, India is how I got to know Maya. So far, we have been keeping in contact ever since he was posted to work in KL. I remember we spend a amazing new year eve last year with a bunch of CS surfers. She is always so bubbly, and I love how she talks about her life so far and her new found impression of Singapore. She makes me misses India which I won't be able to travel in the near future. I was supposed to be in India this April but because of my Dad contracted TB, I postponed it to August.

As always, plans can never catch up with changes in life. I do hope to visit India again.

Till then, I hope you’ll dissolve and evolve into better cell soon.

Cheers,
Your Host
