day 26. thursday will be day 28. on friday i'll break the fast. i'll start with apple juice. i plan half a cup twice a day. after that i'll go half a cup three times a day. i'll keep that up for like 3 days, then i'll add grapefruit or lemon juice. pear juice. i'll keep that up for around 5 or 6 days and then i'll be adding carrot juice, beet, Celery juice. for another week or so. after that i'll start with light broths in the sense: i'll cook some veggies, some rice or quinoa and drink the water of that. then i'll start slightly pureeing stuff. see how that goes. as soon as the juices get me enough energy i'll go see a doctor and have a thorough diagnosis done. i want to know what the heck it really is that i have. if it IS the appendix i'll have it removed. i mean if the doc finds that after a 28 day Water Fast my appendix is still critical then i will have to declare the Water Fast experience a failure and i'll have the s@cker cut out. yeah you guys might be asking yourself: what? she did not go to the doc in the first place?! it might sound stupid, but: i was just too damn weak! i had an appointment, but at that point i was already on day 5 of my Water Fast and i just could not bare the travel. AND i was as good as sure that it was the appendix. i still am. but maybe there is some complication. maybe it's wrapped around the intestine or attached to the bowel or there is a cyst or god knows what. and i want to know too.

- my tongue is still heavily coated. i try to convince myself that it starts clearing a little bit, but i don't think that would stand a critical examination by a third party. it's just white. all over.
- is the appendix better? for christ's sake i don't know. yeah, the pain is gone. but i still feel that kind of pull or pressure. there is still some action going on in that area. some gurgling, some movement, some gas being released - always something. that area is never still. so that i'm STILL constantly aware of it. the final test will be when i start refeeding.
- i am weak. but i would say my weakness has been unchanged for the last 15 days or so. i got used to it.
- the fact that my pulse got regular totally amazes me. i wonder whether it'll stay like this after the fast. isn't it like changing somebody's finger prints? crazy.

take care guys
