Sick, Sick, Sick

After chemo, shaving my head and a delicious dinner with Craig, I was feeling good. OMG- False alarm-I woke up feeling sick and nauseous and it just got worse. Craig tried so hard to get me to eat and drink but nothing worked. Every smell set me off.  I listened to several meditation and visual imagery cd's which helped me relax and then came the continuous vomiting. Never have I been so sick in all my life. I was supposed to go for a shot to keep my white blood cell count up but we called Nurse Barbara and said I didn't think I could make it. She said to please try, so with a cold rag for my head and bag to get sick in (which I didn't, thank god) off we went. I had to go up in a wheelchair, I was so weak. I slept on the way home and as soon as I got in the house, I started getting sick again. I thought it would never end.  We thought I was going to have to go to the hospital for dehydration but both of my doctors said no-too many germs- keep taking the anti nausea medicine and see what happens tomorrow. Great idea if I could keep anything down. Thank goodness, right before I was ready to go to bed, it ended. And, thank you Craig, for being the best husband in the world! I know it was just as terrible for you. I love you more than I can say.

I hope the next session doesn't knock me on my ass like this one did!

P.S. Thank you to everyone who called and continues to call to check on me. I love you all!
