Since Jason's chemo is started in the evenings, he and Debby don't get much sleep and have found that usually the best time to sleep is from 8:00 - 11:00 AM. Except today they had visitors in and out all day long. Two different therapists came in. Pain management came in a couple times to discuss more effective medications.
He's feeling the chemo more now. He's more tired and finds it harder to walk. They told him the first two days he would feel like a Toyota truck hit him and the last two days he would feel like a Mac truck hit him. That's probably pretty accurate. So far he has weathered this round better than most of us thought he could. He is pushing himself to do what he can to help, such as going for walks at least two to three times each day.
They are trying out new anti nausea drugs because the ones he has been using at home were not working that well, and they told him that with the medications they have today he should not have any nausea. They also started him on Dopamine to help lose the water weight he has put on and he hopes to be out by Sunday.

I hope Jason can get out by Sunday, too. Thanks for posting tonight. He is almost through this round.
Pain management doesn't sound like fun. I'm imagining two large nurses with huge hypodermic needle. Hope they helped! Hang in there
At least it's finally Friday we hope the last 2 days are a little easier! The 3 of you are real troopers and amaze all of us! Just know we are all thinking and praying for you guys!!! Love the Wood's
