Goodbye laxatives, hello liquid diet.

Posted by tadueo @tadueo, Jan 7 4:11pm

I'm a 91 year old male, 5'10", 170 lbs. and have accepted the fact that I have gastroparesis and started a liquid diet today. My question: Is there life after GP? or am I better off checking into a hospice? In other words, Is the light worth the candle?
Is GP manageable for a 91 year old artist who still has a few paintings left in him?
Suggestions welcome.

I really don't know friend but please keep painting. and check with your Dr before embarking on a liquid diet. I get the feeling you have a lot more to give to the world and make it better.
