Well after the talk with the Drs on Thursday they kept to the bargain and allowed mum home :)
She is unfortunately suffering with nausea. Don't know if its from the meds, tiredness or calcium count in the blood (probably abit of all 3). She is keeping stubborn about the build up drinks and refusing to have them, for now I am letting it go, well for a couple more days anyway. I am going to try again soon to change her mind because 600 calories a day (and not always that when she is being sick) to my way of thinking is not going to give her the energy she needs when she starts with the chemo. So this is something she is just going to have to swallow literally ;)
Tiredness? Check. Pain? Check. Nausea? Check. Constipation? Check Confusion? Double check. She is having some really strange conversations with us lately, when she realises that she is not making sense it is heart breaking to see the confusion and fear in her eyes. On the other hand it does sometimes make us all laugh. Think I am going to get a pad and write them down because then (a) I can post them on here to show that sometimes there are things about this experience that can still make you smile/laugh and (b) so in the hard times ahead it will give my family and I something to remember and bring once again a smile or chuckle into our day.
So now I have offloaded I am going. Thank you all for listening. Till the next time hugs and bestwishes to you all.
