Much better this time

Although I did have substantial nausea last night I was able to sleep and did not purge so this time we seem to have gotten it right.

So my new regimen seems to work which consists of :

- Aloxi with infusion
- Steroid amount doubled while getting the infusion.
- Taking Emend for 3 days.
- Taking Compazine every 8 hours for 3 days.
- Over the counter Zantac twice daily.
- Ativan before going to sleep for 2 days ( was warned that this could be addictive so will use sparingly)

Oh and I also have to add that I chomped down a whole bag of Corn Chips that Ferit got me during treatment, I suddenly had a craving for chips luckily he was able to find a vending machine.

But one thing that really helped that I was not able sit down and listen to my nausea Elif had 2 of her friends sleeping over. They made their custom homecoming day t-shirts and they tried to get their hair in a mohawk for the homecoming game. Well first they tried putting on Elmors glue that did not go quite well so we went to Wallgreens begged them to open up ( they had just closed) and bought 5 jars of #10 hair jell. Came home and tried to set it with hair dryer... nada.. it just was not happening there was gel all over the place (luckily we were on the driveway) We gave up and went to bed at 1 am, I think I of them slept in the gel.. dunno how that turned out.

Pictures are worth a thousand words :

Teenagers on a good mission in a good mood are even more fun to swatch then a kitten playing with a yarn... they could get hilarious !
