nausea and back pain

The night after my chemo, when I took the nasty oral dose at home instead of the IV dose, I was so nauseated I barely slept and remained so until  10:00 am when I got more chemo and got and IV zofran instead of an oral.  I told mom I wanted some kind of pastry sweet for breakfast and so she made me and poppy seed almond cake.

I did good all day until the evening my back started hurting because my body started producing heavy replacements and took 2 tylenol before I went to bed.  I woke up at 2:00 am this morning and had to take 1 ondesetron (loritab) instead my back hurt so bad, then went back to bed and slept really well.  I feel okay this morning so far, but woke up and realized my head was itchy and my pillow looked like the cat had slept on it.  So, I called Amber and she'll be around tonight to give me a buzz.

Day One Aftermath

I didn't sleep well, I either was super nauseated or had to pee, and when I went pee I could smell the Mensa and coffee and got nauseated again, would lay down to sleep for twenty minutes to an hour then have to do it all over again.  I finally went to sleep after listening to Phantom of the Opera for the first half hour for five hours.  I feel like what I imagine a hang  over feels like.  I will never agree to taking the Mensa orally instead of through the IV again that was disgusting and haunted me all night.  Sleeping was already hard enough considering I've had tachycardia (a faster that normal heart rate) the last couple of weeks.

Long Day of Chemo

Wow, talk about a long day at the hospital, my appointment was at 8:00am and I ended up being there until 6pm, they wanted to keep me until 8:30pm so I could take this last chemo through my IV but decided to send me home with the oral version.  Which was a liquid that tasted suspiciously like a permanent smells.  I nearly threw up after trying to quickly consume the first half in one gulp, then after being horrified at the thought of drinking the other half, mixed it with dark coffee and two hot chocolate packets and nausea meds.

My LP went pretty well other than he went right through a tight muscle I had going on which is NOT pleasant, though there's no way of noticing that.  Chemo every day now with extra chemo and the LP once a week for a month, then we'll see where I'm at.

Thank you for your prayers, and since god is a smart alek, my neutrophils were exactly .7. ;)  My platelets took a huge jump so the doctor figured we were pretty safe to go ahead.

Just Hanging Out

I've just been hanging out, watching Vampire Diaries, playing animal crossing (on the DS since my wii is broken) and working on my project, which is ALMOST done.  Nothing really new to report, I go in for chemo tomorrow.  Jake's switching jobs, he gets a dollar less pay but we qualify for food stamps.
