First day in weeks that I’ve been left to fend for myself for the whole day. It’s Friday, so I worked on the usual Friday chores. I went grocery shopping, I did loads and loads of laundry, and I even made dinner. Granted the dinner making was rather minimal in preparation. I even took the little ones to join Hektor and John at the baseball game. I was a little tired towards the end of the day, but I think I fared rather well.
Okay on the 75 mcg/hr fentanyl patch. No significant pain anywhere. Able to drink a little bit of water, juice, and even 7Up. I’m producing a lot less of the thick phlegm-like saliva as well, so that’s a tremendously positive development. I didn’t even have a spit cup today. Found out today that one of the drugs they gave me when I had my especially violent vomiting episode in the doctor’s office is an anxiolytic like Valium. Outside of really sleepy, I haven’t felt any other side effects, but then again I really wasn’t paying attention to that. At least now I know that should I be feeling overly anxious, I have something for that. 🙂
