Hi again
Yes the recommended time off work is around 2 weeks. The parting words from the medical team were to take two weeks but more if you need it.
It's been 5 days now and I'm feeling good. sleeping right through as well. My Fluid intake is quite good and there are no signs of nausea when I drink my liquid meals. 9 days to go before puree foods.
The only thing I really dislike is having to crush all my other meds to a fine powder prior to taking them. They are then left in Water for 20 min and then the resulting disgusting mix has to be sipped over the next 30 min.... The taste is awful. Small price to pay though.
