Yesterday was my second dose of the higher chemo meds. I did not forget to take my Zofran. It helped immensely. Zero nausea and vomiting. I was a bit nervous to eat last night. I almost just wanted to have a protein shake, but I thought to myself, no, that lasagna is worth it. So I powered through and ate.
Be sure to follow your doctors’ and nurses’ orders. Don’t forget a medication that is prescribed. They help. My wife told her best friend about my situation and the nausea, and her response was, “Oh no. Zofran was a Godsend. It kept the nausea and sickness away.” I also had a bunch of water with the Nectar Hydration packs. I think I had 3 yesterday. Today, I had 4.
My day today was light and easy. Not much to do. I did some sitting exercises and standing exercises. I prepared my breakfast with no difficulty. The higher dose of steroids has helped me regain some balance that I had lost with the lower dose.
Last night, I was frustrated with a local Jeep dealership. I went on a social media blast campaign to light a fire, as I have been trying to resolve a Gap insurance refund since May. I lemon-lawed my Grand Cherokee earlier this year, and they all but ignored my correspondence. Let’s take it to social media. Finally, someone reached out, and I got some headway with them. They’re finally returning my Gap insurance. Annoying, but these are the hurdles I had to jump through. Thankfully, getting the ball rolling via a social media blast was easier than trying to just get it done normally and nicely. I guess nice guys finish last.
Only a few more days of Chemo doses left. I can’t wait to be off it. The nerves of not knowing whether I will be sick are getting to me. I keep some Emesis bags nearby. Haven’t had to use them today or yesterday. Just the first day.
Thank you for stopping by!
