Feelin' Good and Flyin' Solo

I'm pleased to report that all those nasty side effects from Tykerb went away right away! I felt fine the next day when I was at school and things have been good ever since. That makes this regime way more manageable. Now if I can just keep the nausea at bay this next round will be a piece of cake (maybe I went to far with that). My plan is to talk things over with the doctor, maybe I can try a different medication (or perhaps I can just add another medication to the one I was taking?). I don't know, I will see my doc at UCSF on Thursday so we can figure that out. I also think I absolutely have to force myself to eat. Last round nothing sounded palatable and I didn't force the issue. I pretty much existed on peanut butter toast and gatorade. This time around I'm going to choke something down every couple hours so there is always a little something in my gullet. I'm going to cook up some chicken soup and some simple white rice cooked in broth. I'm pretty well convinced that I can keep better handle on nausea, but I guess we'll see next week (fingers crossed).

Keith's mom is still in ICU. She had surgery last Friday and things are healing up well, but recovery is slow. Keith headed up to Duluth last Friday. He was planning on coming home this Thursday, but from the sound of things he's going to stay up there a couple extra days. I can't get over what a shit storm we're living in. Poor Keith is so torn and he just can't be in two places at once. Thankfully I'm doing pretty darn well, but we're definitely paying the tax for living so far from our families!
