Hey all,
It's Wed night and I got home from the 'burgh a little while ago. I saw many doctors and took a few tests. (blood tests, CT Scans, Pulmonary tests, etc.) All needed to see where I stand on placement on the "List". I spent a lot of my discussions with the doctors focusing on my extreme nausea and lack of appetite. Obviously my weight loss and lack of energy cannot be helping me let alone getting me strong enough for a transplant. So a main focus getting me to eat.
It's so touch and go. I'll have a great day and a half...then four or five days of severe nausea and sickness.
Why try to pad the situation, eh? You wanna know what's really going on. and I don't see a need to sugar coat or omit anything.
I did start to feel better on the way home from the hospital today, probably because I wasn't getting admitted for anything. And I want to be home when I'm ill.
Hello to Rosie, My Pic lady, and thanks for the great advice. You made today a better one after I saw ya. You put a smile on my face when I see ya.
I have to go back in to AGH (where I was today) to get an R Cath (a catheter to check out the right side of my heart, and who knows what else they'll have planned that day. But as always, I'll let you know when I know.
Thanks all,
Take Care,
~R

Hello Richard and Dorcas! Sorry to hear of your nausea. Are you allowed to drink ginger tea or peppermint tea? I know some herbs conflict with Comadin (sp?)and other meds. and some teas have caffeine. Have you tried nibbling on a soda cracker ( not eat the whole thing at once)every 15 minutes until nausea eases. Don't know if any will help. We pray that it will go away for you.
