98 and Counting

The title says it all really. This past Friday, my weighing in day, I was 98 pounds which means that I have gained 8 pounds since going on TPN. It also means that, as predicted, for the past three weeks I have gained 2 pounds /week. Should the trend continue, that means 100 pounds for Christmas and I can't think of a better present than that.

I have spoken to my dietician a couple of times since last writing here and everything looks good from her end as well. My weekly blood work indicates no problems so as long as everything continues in this vein I can start doing it monthly in the new year.

Oral intake of food continues to be a positive experience so I am really looking forward to Christmas dinner, twice, this year.

And on that note I'll sign off by wishing everyone a very happy holiday season. whether it be Christmas or Hanukah or just a time to spend with family and friends. And all the best in the new year.
