Day 83
Today definitely had it’s ups and downs. I’m doing fine with the chemo – fevers are gone are occasionally low, no extra aches and pains. The only problem I’m having is terrible nausea and the docs and nurses are trying to figure out a regimen to make it manageable. It’s making it nearly impossible to eat or do much else. I was lucky enough to get my dinner down tonight and I’m not going to move from my bed until I get my next dose of medicine so that I make sure it stays in there.
On another up, I was moved into a private room. I feel like I’m back at home now. Although I’ve slept most of the day, I’m still exhausted so I’m going to lay down and rest. Thanks Dad for bringing me lots of stomach-friendly snacks and thanks Robyn for the visit. It was great to finally see you and catch up. Hopefully I’ll have less nausea to report on tomorrow!
Hi Jess -
Well unlike the mysterious fevers, at least you know the nausea is pretty common with the chemo and you know it will go away soon. Have a good relaxing day in your private sanctuary and let that medicine do its job.

It was great to see you too! I have to say, nausea and all, you still look terrific. I doubt anyone else there has gotten through chemo and everything else that you’re dealing with looking quite as beautiful. That positive attitude must help all around. But we were in the middle of a conversation I’d live to finish…so I’ll have to visit again. Maybe Thursday or Friday if you’re out of the hospital
