November 3 Update

I had a real good barf this afternoon. The surgeon came in to chat. We talked just a minute or so, when I turned to the Vorlon Wife and said, “Karol, barf bucket now!” There was urgency in my voice as I needed it NOW. In no time at all I had emptied today’s consumption into a small rectangular plastic basin.

The surgeon said something else that I didn’t catch and left the room. We called the nurse’s station. The nurse asked where he went. I told her I started to throw up and he left the room. But I think he’s going to send me home tomorrow.

The nurse put something in my arm for nausea. I'm also going to stop with the nebulizer. It's messing up my takes buds and now this. Of course I haven't had any pain medication today. I wonder if it could be withdrawl symptoms from the pain medication. L'll ask the nurse.

Please think twice about stopping the nebulizer. That shouldn't be what's causing you to be sick, and it's really, really important!! Taste bud changes are really a small price to pay in the long run. Your sickness is probably from stopping the pain meds. I remember after my surgery, I was only on the pain meds a day and a half and when I stopped taking them they had to give me several injections for nausea. Those things are great for their intended purpose, but I agree with you! I can't imagine what people are thinking when they take them recreationally!!
