Jan's new pain medication routine appeared to be working as we started the day. She had one of her better mornings.We even went on a short walk, and she enjoyed it.These are the times when even the small ordinary blessings, we usually take for granted,become a huge gift meriting gratitude usually reserved for "bigger things".
However,this afternoon, around 2:00PM,the nausea/vomiting rollercoaster began again.This is not an easy battle and the skirmishes seem to never end. Just when we think we have our hand on the enemy's throat, he slips away and attacks from another angle. Jan will tell you that she has become an expert in carrying the "barf" bucket, although she is embarrased to be seen with it, when we are on our normal excursions to the lab and doctor's office. Tomorrow is a lab day and Wednesday we report to the "chemo" room for the "second round".
Thanks to Deb Carlson who carved and lighted a pumpkin, and then delivered it in time for our Halloween display.
A grateful smile to all :)

Hi Jan, Sorry to hear you're on that rollercoaster ride today. I'm still trying to get off the ride also. I carry around large ziplock bags as my backup when I'm out or in the car. They help alot. I've found that drinking one of the Boost drinks helps also. It coats my stomach. Glad to hear you are home and not at a hospital. The ride will pass and we'll both get off soon!! You've been in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there !!-kim R.
