EXHAUSTED

Sep 18, 2009

So I have been home a week. I have lost 13 pounds. It has been a stressful week. My grandmother was admitted to the hospital yesterday for a stroke. So trying to go see her and take care of myself as well as get in my protein, water, etc...has been difficult. I am exhausted! My home care nurse who comes by to give me my shot of Levonox for 10 days also monitores my oxygen levels, heart rate, as well as my temp. Seems like every afternoon I runn a temp. 99.6-100. Is this normal? Anyone else had this problem? Also has anyone else had symptoms of hunger or anything? Everyone I have spoke to has said "Oh you won't be hungry and you won't miss a thing" I beg to differ. It is harder then it seems. It's hard to walk through the door and smell someone cooking. Sometimes it makes me queasy and sometimes it smells really good. Today when they brought my grandmother a gingerale, it almost made me cry at the thought that I wll never be able to drink gingerale again for fear of dumping. So whoever thought this would be easy, is FULL OF IT!
