It's been a week or so since I updated the blog so figured I'd better since there was a milestone hit yesterday. I finally ate some food. Sunday afternoon I decided I'd try a scrambled egg. Marjie cooked one and seasoned it with a little salt/pepper/garlic mix. Ate about half before the garlic screwed up my tasted buds, but at least got some real food down the gullet. Monday morning I got up and scrambled another egg this time just seasoning it with salt. It went down much better and figured hey, this food deal might be finally working. Microwaved a burrito for lunch and ate half of it, then for dinner cooked up a little pasta with sauce. The spaghetti went down much better than the burrito.
Today, I woke up and had a craving for pancakes...cooked two of them and smothered them in maple syrup. These didn't taste so good, but forced myself to eat half of them. Later in the day while driving around, I stopped at Taco Bell and ordered a burrito. That was nasty...took a few bites and had to throw it away. For dinner tonight, I tried a small bowl of Corn Flakes....it was kind of so so...ate about 8 bites and trashed that. First few bites of food seem to taste ok, but after that it goes to hell in a hand basket. Had 5 bites of pork chop and 3 bites of broccoli with cheese sauce before I gave up for the day. I'm still using the Ensure, but at least I'm getting a little bit of real food down.
Hopefully in a week or so I'll be doing better with the food.
The ringing in ears has gotten worse in the past few days. It's kind of been an off and on again thing for the past few months. I'm also experiencing some pressure in my left ear and have noticed a significant loss of hearing in that ear. The ringing is getting worse and worse and the sound keeps changing. Every time I burp, cough or yawn my left ear pops. Not sure what's going on, but I made an appointment with Dr. Debo tomorrow and hopefully he'll be able to figure something out.
That's about it for now, just trying to get back normal and get on with it.

Dave,
Great news on the food, another milestone passed! Hope all went well with the Doctor today on the ear ringing / preasure.
Have you gotten the boat out on the water yet? Maybe some Delta Victor fresh caught flounder would be to your taste buds liking (without garlic?)?
Tell Marjie and David hi (hi to you too Jen)and we will see you in August!!
You kept the faith!!!!!!!!!!
