December 17 [Day 22 of Treatment]

A fair night. Such a joy to wake up in my own bed next to Mo, and Diggory somehow snuck up there too. Mouth is very dry and I realize that I am dehydrated, but curiously, do not have a thirst or an appetite. I’m on my fourth 12 oz bottle of Gatorade since last night. If I can be more physically active today, I think some of my thirst and appetite will come back. In the meantime I need to take it easy so that the body does not reject the nutrition. It’ll be easier to be more active since I don’t have those darn tubes trailing behind me anymore. Mo is monitoring my temperature carefully – I was borderline 100.5 last night but it’s down to normal right now.

Quiet traditional home day today. Decorated the Xmas tree, listened to Xmas music, and watched TV. Simple pleasures!
