Fourth, fifth & sixth Days, Better Days are coming.

Thursday, I took the second EMEND pill and three more Prednisone about 7:15 AM and then slept until 9:00 AM. Debi and I are now on vacation, so she went with me to the doctor’s office about 11:00 for a shot that is supposed to make my bone marrow produce more red blood cells. Felt good most of the day with a little nausea (1-2 on the scale). It seemed to cycle all day and evening. Started eating smaller meals more often at Debi suggest, seemed to help. Couldn’t go to sleep until 2:00 (this is another side effect), but the nausea was down to about 1 on the old scale.




Friday, I took the third and last EMEND pill and three more Prednisone about 7:25 AM. Felt good, ran some errors with Debi and had lunch. The nausea was cycling, but not very bad all day. Still couldn’t get to sleep, but whatever.



Saturday, I took the last three Prednisone pills about 7:15 AM. Felt good, ran to the grocery shop with Debi and had lunch. The nausea was cycling (0 – 2), but getting better all day. Worked in the garage and barn for a couple hours, tired but feeling pretty good. Still have a little nausea (0 -1) at 8:00 PM, something I might have to live with for a long while. Then I asked Debi, she was out at a benefit for a police officer who was hurt that we know through our granddaughter, to bring me home some ice cream. That raised the nausea back up for awhile.

  1. My sisters worst complaint is not being able to sleep. It might be time to work on your indoor hobbies since sleeping may not be an option. We are all thinking of you and hope you get through this process as painless as possible.
