She has slept a good part of the past two days, but that is fine - sleep is a good healer.
It's really pretty amazing this time with respect to the amount of nausea she has had.
That's because there really has not been much.
This time she decided to try to not take the prescription pills for nausea that you start on day 3.
It says right on the bottle that they may cause dizzziness, and they certainly do with her.
I got her some Gravol (Dramamine for our US friends), she has had only one of those.
This is really something.
She's anxious to get back out in the yard.
This week Carl and his helper (they're building a new house and one of his friends is working with him), built us some garden boxes using some of the lumber they have left over. The boxes are 8'X3'X30", and I think 4 feet square. I decided I wanted to have some vegetables again, and since bending down is too hard on my reflux problem, and kneeling is impossible with my knees, I got the idea for the boxes. That's all Jenny needed to hear, and she was organizing Carl into setting us up with these boxes.
She has it all figured out how she will put the remnants of the forsythia bush (that we are cutting out to make way for a peach tree) into the bottom, plus some other mulch, before the topsoil goes in.
She has actually spent quite a bit of time in the garden since she started chemo. Pretty good therapy, I think!
So for now we are in a slowdown but tonight she said she feels like she will be coming out the other side soon. It's hard to keep a good Aussie girl down!
