3:30 - daily blood draw
5:30 - vitals (and now I'm awake). I've chatted with another transplant friend, checked FaceBook, read email, sanitized my phone...etc.)
After getting dressed, brushing teethe, etc., I've been chilling out in bed cleaning up my phone data, riveting, I know.
I just got my blood test results for the day:
Potassium is low again so they are giving me more as well protonix to protect my stomach. A few other numbers are starting to drop. We will also start lasix again in about 10 minutes.
I began feeling nauseated so they gave me all my anti nausea meds a little early. It's easier and better to catch the nausea before it starts then to try to chase it back down again (learned that the hard way during mobilization week).
Now I'm trying to eat some food, despite the fact I have no appetite.
10:00 - Cytoxan started again...3rd day.
I lost track of time with all the drugs and naps. My appetite is definitely going away. I had a bowl of soup for lunch and some Zuchini and that's all I could handle.
I'm on about 5 or 6 different anti nausea meds as well as a scopolamine patch behind my ear. So far so good, but the hardest days are still ahead.
Jesse went and did our laundry today back at the hotel. Thanks to our fellow transplant friends, he was able to relax and wait for the laundry in comfort. :)
3:00 - Daily Strawberry Smoothie Time
I was feeling well enough today to play with some of my brothers on the PS3. Little Big Planet, was all I could handle. :)
Hospital food is getting old...so tonight Jesse went and got us some Cheesecake Factory. Half of my dinner is in the fridge for tomorrow. Once food comes in my room, it can't leave.
Tonight's plans: shower, relax between all the medications. Last dose of lasix started at 9:00, so no decent sleeping until 12:00 - 1:00.
This is on my to do list before bed. :)
