Not a lot to report today. She is doing about the same as yesterday. Her Nausea is a little worse this morning although she was able to eat a little- at least enough to take her pills. So far the tingling in her fingers seems better this morning although that could change at any time. I think she is learning what triggers it and is doing a better job avoiding those things.
Drinking anything below body temperature seems like it is going to be the hardest thing for her to cope with since she really likes cold water and does not like even room temperature water. If it was still winter, she would probably be drinking a lot of hot tea, but it is not although some of you would claim it is still winter here. Getting extra fluids in her will be difficult although she is getting enough not to dehydrate. Right now I need to warm anything she drinks to about body temperature as even room temp water makes her choke and it is hard to swallow. Since the finger tingling seems to be getting a little better each day, hopefully the swallowing will also start to do better.
She continues to feel fatigued, but that was expected and it is not too bad. Her right arm continues to hurt or ache, but it is starting out a little better this morning, so hopefully that will continue to improve. We got some suggestions from Annie yesterday that may be helping.
