Monday started out like a good day even though I had a trip to the dentists office. The morning went along well and I got my fluoride trays and instructions from the dentist. Went to RT for the afternoon and all started out well. Earl is down smaller than a pea at this point, a couple of sores in the mouth but all is looking fairly good. When I went to get my therapy is when things went south. If I haven't mentioned it, I have a bad gag reflex! Getting my bite block in cause me to gag but some of the contents of my stomach came halfway up into my throat. No fun. Had to have them sit me up for a couple of minutes to get composed again before we started again. Got things going and my treatment in but after I took the bite block out I lost it completely! Thankfully Todd had given me a barf bag! Once I got the stomach to settle down we thought that I was done it was just due to my gagging.

Got home and took a nap, woke up a couple of hours later and had some dinner. All was going good and I was almost done with my soup when, wham, the stomach flipped and I was off to the bathroom. For those who know me well puking is my least favorite thing to do in the world. Oh joy! There goes dinner! Thought I was done so back out to relax. About a half hour later whammy here we go again. Thankfully that was the last of it for the night.

We think it may have been the possibility of a couple things that caused it. I was attempting to cut back on the multitude of meds I am taking and get off of the anti-nausea meds. Maybe not a good idea! I do take an anti-nausea pill 1/2 hour before treatment because the Ethyel shot I get can cause nausea. It may be the lack of the base pill let the shot work it's side affect. Who knows. Or I may have gotten a bug going around. Go figure.
