Wednesday Evening
I just called Dad to check on Mom. He said it was a bad evening. Alot of coughing, wishing she could throw up, and really tired, as well as joints achy.In my opinion the coughing would be the worst thing to have I hope she realized that she did too much. She said that the 3-5 day after the chemo (she was told) is the worst. Her nausea started tonight and she is very fatigued. I guess she takes 3 pills, 3 days(i think 1 a day) before the chemo shot. She called them her adreniline booster pills. Because that's what they are to do. But she can't take them any more than 3 days before. She said that's why she was feeling so well for the last 3 days.Dad gets home from the temple about 9:30 am on thurs. and fri. I think Saturday, we'll have to see about how she will be doing and helping with anything that day. I have a R.S. ward Service in which I am in charge of and will be gone from 8-10 am. Dad usually leaves for the temple around 9:15 or so.

I was afraid that the surge of energy and feeling better was a temporary situaution. It sounds like the effects of chemo-therapy are now kicking in. Hopefully they will not be long lasting. Does anybody have an accurate assesment of the food/meal situation in the house right now? I remember when my mother had her bad days after chemo, all she wanted to do was lay down and try to rest. She did not want visitors, phone calls or interruptions, even eating was a chore. Roger
