The start of a start

Today John is going to start on a healthy diet. Based on Dr. Christopher's teachings, he should eat fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds. I decided to pull him off the liquids. After the stent in the hospital last week and having liquids over the weekend. His heart just couldn't handle it.

Sunday night, he was having a hard time breathing; almost as bad as last Tuesday. Monday morning, he weighed in at a little over 131 kg. He felt better after dialysis. He did the Wheat germ oil massage. He didn't want it. I kept him out for 16 min. He didn't have any bowel movements until evening. He would have come in at 2 minutes if he could physically do it. He sure asked often enough. He felt better afterwards.

He didn't have any bowel movements until evening. When I was changing him, he urinated a decent amount. Still not a normal amount but more than usual for him. Up to that point his side was hurting. The pain went away after that. He was doing pretty well until evening. He slept some and then he couldn't sleep anymore. He was up until 2 am. He tried to get into the bananas. Everything else was away, including popcorn. He asked where I put it.

This morning he had his capsules and his heart medicine. He also had apple cider vinegar and honey. He didn't eat anything right away. I made him a fruit smoothie with molasses and bee pollen. He then rested until a little past noon. I made him a salad. Almost an hour later, I made him brown rice with tomato sauce, Mrs. Dash, and pressed garlic. He also had some Pau D' Arco tea. He really enjoyed the rice.

His massage went better than yesterday. He sat out there for 20 minutes without asking me every 2 minutes if he can go in. His mind seems to be clearing again. He is acting more "grown up". He is not as anxious. What a relief.

He says he feels like he can't breathe as well. He doesn't look like he is having problems. I am keeping a close eye on him though. Don't need to have him get like he was a week ago.

I have limited his liquids and started him on Cranberry capsules and Melatonin.
