I'm here, I'm here
. Just been a little.....what's the word....oh yeah, stoned. Too stoned to be online. Between the drugs and the low blood counts, life has been observed from my recliner with a bit of detachment.
Mouth sores have really flared, especially down my throat. Swallowing is a huge challenge. After 10mg oxycodone and 2 mg morphine I managed to get down an instant breakfast. They're working hard on getting me good enough pain and nausea control. I really, really don't want to go on IV nutrition, that's full of hazards itself, so I want to keep an oral intake. but, if I'm too stoned to eat, it kind of defeats the purpose, right? They set me up with a PCA, where I dose myself, this morning and I'm getting to know the med a little.
It was a rough couple of days, but feeling a little better this morning. Been out and walked, kept down my milkshake, working on water.
Thank you so much for all the prayers. I really don't know how unbelievers get through something like this.
Blooie--congratulations!
fyi--my honey has strict instructions to come on here and update you folks if anything bad happens to me. Couldn't leave my peeps hanging.
