  13. @@lachellove how are you feeling?@@Gaelsmom how are you feeling? I'm feeling okay the hardest thing for me mentally is blood clots and pneumonia haven't had time to care about not eating lolHi guysI think today had been my best day. I walked about four miles and haven't taken five naps through the day or had the bad gas pain through my shoulders. I'm having a hard time taking in fluids. I tried to eat jello but could only do one tablespoon. I'm not hungry but my sense of smell and memories are strong. I just want to be able to drink normally, especially on a hot day. I just can't wait til I'm weeks out so I can get active without being tired. This is a slow road to recovery ... I'm already wishing my two weeks go by fast ..

Black bean spicy soup cream of chicken as well.. Any other ones I have two weeks till im able to eat soft regular food looking for help
