Losing Appetite

Chemo #2 Day 3

Ma is starting to lose her appetite. She'll eat a few bites of food, then stop. She won't even force herself to drink a small bottle of Ensure.

One thing she has to do is drink 2-3 quarts of water a day for several days after each chemo treatment to flush the drugs out. I have to keep reminding her to drink. She drank less than 2 quarts of water today, but she did have some soup and some Ensure. I suppose those can be included in her fluid intake.

Another thing she needs to keep doing is light exercise. The extent of her exercise is to walk a loop from the kitchen to the living room to the front entry and back to the kitchen. Yes, it's a very short walk, but at least she's moving.
