A Chocolate Craving

So...recently due possibly to hormonal changes along with a good dose of domperidone, I had a genuine chocolate craving. I am addicted to chocolaty goodness but since the gastroparesis hit I haven't really wanted to eat it. I enjoy smelling it and one of my nurses even found me some chocolate lotion to endulge my addiction by olfactory means when I couldn't take in anything by mouth. So, I was surprised and delighted to actually be hungry for some chocolate. I searched the cabinets and couldn't find any chocolaty morsels....and then I remembered...back in September for my birthday we had a delectable chocolate cake...that I couldn't eat. I was able to manage a small finger scoop of frosting just to tease myself, but the rest was wrapped up and placed in the recesses of the freezer in hopes that I would eventually have better tummy times. SO, here it is January of 2008 and I'm finally pulling my cake from the freezer. I cut a big chunk and endulged myself. Even with the slight bit of freezer burn on the edges it was delightful soothing my craving for the first time in over 3 months. Unfortunately about a half hour later I got sick from it and ran to the bathroom to vent my g-tube (a nice alternative to throwing up). Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable experience.
