So, I still haven’t felt up to doing much of anything. The Zofran works some days and other days it doesn’t. The last week has been pretty rough. I have lost three pounds (but don’t worry – I’m still 2-3 pounds up from my starting weight so this is ok), and have barely been able to keep a drop of food or drink down. After a particularly bad weekend, I wound up going to triage on Monday night and getting IV hydration and IV anti-nausea medication. I felt pretty good after this, but it unfortunately only lasted about a day. My doctor says I should start feeling better soon. I’m about 9 ½ weeks along and your hormones are at their highest sometime between week 8 and 10, so once those pesky hormones start to calm down, I should feel better. I CANT WAIT!!!!!!! I haven’t felt like myself now in about 4 or 5 weeks and it is getting pretty old (but obviously totally worth it in the end).
I also have to give a major shout out to my wonderful, amazing, adoring, stupendous husband, Mark. I literally don’t think I could do this without him. He has really stepped up to the plate and been a huge help to me. He has taken over cleaning the house, cooking all meals, helping with the shopping and laundry, caring for the dogs (because even the smell of their dog food makes me throw up), basically anything and everything that I can’t do right now because I’m either too tired or too nauseated to get it done. I love you Mark and am soooooo thankful to have you!!!!
Hope to write again soon… until next time…
