Poopie
I feel like crud. I took sme Pepcid and some nausea meds last night and that helped. I am drinking coffee and will dose up again in a bit but now I have a really bad abdominal pain near my hip. Dang.... not as bad when I lay down. Hurts when I walk. Rosie, my nurse is coming to change my central line dressing and she will have an opinion! I talked to Cecelia in Dr. c's office and they might move my cat scan up so he can read it before he leaves town. I am supposed to go to lunch with an old friend today, I hope I feel up to it. Meanwhile me and my handy companion are chillin on the bed. I am drinking coffee and waiting for this pain pill to kick in. Here's to a better day! JoAnn, if you still read my blog what was that drug you really liked that helped you with the sickness? I know you mentioned it before. Thanks.

I still read your blog, Ellen, and think of you all the time. I got EMEND which was not so much for nausea but for that "feeling like shit" feeling.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping for better days for you...or at least a few at a time!
It is one year since I finished chemo and I still have bad times. Not terrible and nothing that rest does not help, but not my old "normal".
Hugs

Ellen, I hope today was better. I've just caught up on the last couple of posts... you know this time of year, it's been busy at work, long hours, what little bit of downtime I have, I spend watching endless episodes of "Midsomer Murders." Ha! I've turned into an old maid! Anyway, this time of year is especially hard, although I'm grateful to have a family here in Texas who have adopted me and allowed me to spend holidays with them. But yes, I miss my mom, I miss my sister, I miss Vidalia (don't repeat that!), I miss my school friends, I miss my mom's crab bisque that she made every Christmas day for lunch. She would splurge every year and buy fresh crabmeat, which I guess was packed with a little salt as a preservative. There was one year that someone had made a terrible mistake and poured way too much salt in it.... it rendered the bisque inedible. And although my mother was naturally upset, it didn't ruin the day. We just drank more wine and ate more smoked oysters and cheese! Anyway, I have no idea where this is going, just rambling on about what I've been thinking about these last few days. "It's that time of year..." and all that. I hope your day today was better and I hope your body gives you a break so you can enjoy these next few weeks, Christmas, New Year's, and the year to come.
