Cathy ate well this evening. It seems that her battle with nausea has become a stalemate. Most of her nausea 'triggers' have been identified. To hold the nausea in check she takes a dosage of an anti-nausea med before any of these triggers. Two separate anti-nausea meds are being used.
As I mentioned last night, Cathy is still dealing with some pains, although not near as much as in August just after the G-tube procedure. Here again, the treatment involves a one-two punch approach.
Since there are no urgent physical struggles facing Cathy at this time(besides breathing), the biggest struggle for Cathy is dealing with boredom and holding on to her positive mental attitude. Today's walk went a long ways towards cutting the boredom and lifting her spirits.
Cathy has asked me to send her love to everyone and thank you once again for all the prayers, good thoughts, words of encouragement, support, love and kindness. xoxo

A nice walk does the mind and body good!
That is great they identified the nausea triggers.
Boredom...I wish we lived closer, I would visit you everyday.
Does Cathy have a sketch book and some good colored pencils or pens?
My love is sent back to you...
Wow! All the way around the unit!? You've been storing up that energy haven't you! I'm glad that you had that to get you up and out of that bed. Oh how tired you must be of lying in that bed!
Now's your chance to find a good book, grab your laptop or write a letter (wow...what a concept)! Even if it's for a few minutes a day...it will help break up the monotony of waiting for that new lung. Just watch, as soon as you find some way to help pass the time, your new lung will show up!
Sending you love and hugs,
BonBon
XOXOXOXO
