Recovery Day 10

Alright so today has not been what we planned. And trust me it has totally gotten to me. I am mad. He was suppose to come home! I am tired. There is a reason I don't work in town! I am sad. My girls haven't seen their dad other than FaceTime since 10/16! I am angry. Cancer sucks and even after it's gone the effects still stay!


Alan has continued to be nauseated all day. He hasn't vomited since before 7 am. But he is on 3 different anti-nausea meds to try and control it. If he vomits again, they will place the NG tube back in. So yay, prayers are working for 9 hours now. 


Take that back. He just vomited at 4:10 as I was writing this. 


I HATE CANCER!


Both Dr. Wise One and Dr. Big Sis stopped by. Dr. F reassured us that this is not a stomach bug but quite normal for Shake N Bake patients. He believes in 12 to 36 hours Alan will be better. Dr. Big Sis defers to Dr. Wise One's insight on HIPEC. He also said that his patients have the longest stays because of this very thing. The recovery is not a straight vertical line like most surgeries. It has a lot of hills and valleys. We have hit the first valley. 


Lord, please stop the nausea and heal my husband so he can come home!
