July 9 Morning Update

I’m still doing OK. I seem to be at my best upon arising in the morning. Then I fade as the day wears on. Still, I’m doing betting than I had expected.

Last night I woke up about 12:30 feeling like I was going to throw up. I tell you that’ll wake you up. I got up and sat for a bit and it seemed to subside. Then I wandered around the house and got one of my Kytrils (anti-nausea medication) and took it.

This was a surprise as it’s been 2 days since my chemo and I haven’t had to take a Kytril for months.

My stomach settled back down and I went back to bed. I can’t say I slept terribly well, but the chemo is still messing up my sleep patterns.

I’m feeling hungry, but still afraid to eat. I’ll start with my 360-calorie Boost Plus. Then I’ll test nibble on a few things. I’m also feeling thirsty. I’ll have to see what goes down well. It’s been 48 hours, so I hope my taste buds are starting their slow recovery.

So far, I have not experienced that debilitating fatigue that I get. But we’ll see when I go to church. Will have enough energy to both stand and sing at the same time.
