Hi Lea and Camille!
I just want to greet both of you and thank you for sharing. It would have been/would be such a different life if the people I care for who have cancer knew about how food could support them! I'm so happy for both of you that you have that piece in place, and wish you both continuing improvements in your health.
Many years ago when I had similar surgeries I was given two pound boxes of chocolate meltaways by my best friend. Now, my best friends know that there are far better gifts, and that I have far better ways of handling health trials. I commend you both for your commitment and the wonderful example you're setting!
Best always, and a big congratualtions on the sleep cycle Lea, and the teaching joy, Camille!

: Hi Camille!
: I do remember our conversation
: online, earlier, yes I do! It's a
: pleasure to hear from you and to
: find out how you are doing, these
: days, Camille.
: My heart goes out to you, we have
: travelled a similar path with the
: surgery intervention
: (hysterectomy). I am saddened to
: hear you also are dealing with a
: cancer journey. But glad to know
: you have the valuable information
: about the food plan, here, and the
: interaction here too!
: I, too, am glad to be able to eat,
: and to eat well! It really does
: all come down to our food, doesn't
: it? What we eat and how we make it
: happen, how we support our healing
: with the food. After all, we need
: to give our bodies the building
: blocks for restoration and repair.
: I want to give my body the best
: building blocks I can possibly
: give! That includes knowing what
: to eat, timing what I eat and
: making sure I have it, all parts
: of the whole self-care picture.
: And when that is taken care of, I can
: relax, knowing I have done a good
: job, with the food. My thoughts
: can turn to what I want to do with
: my life, and I am able to indulge
: in writing little encouragements.
: It pleases me tremendously to do
: so... thanks for noticing!
: Breakfast today:
: Shaeke: precooked sweet potato in the
: blender with presliced and frozen
: peach, frozen blueberries, olive
: oil, water. Steak strips on the
: side, pan fried from presliced and
: frozen.
: Yum!
: I wanna use the happy strawberry face
: too...
: Cooler temps, grass is greening,
: my mini sunflower plant bloomed!
: (it was gift from my grandmother)
:
: Pleasantly,
: Lea (snoozey)
: P.S. oh! almost forgot to mention, I
: got to a daytime awake schedule!
: my husband and I went on a little
: car trip, and what with visiting
: and being out in the sun we were
: exhausted and fell asleep 11pm ish
: and managed to tire ourselves out
: the following day also, for
: another regular night, and voila!
: I am awake at 9 am nowadays. It's
: not 7 am but it gets me to my
: appts on time.
