Hello friends,
Oh my (smile). I feel lonely and done-to! Biochemical, all...
I was advised to take a med on an empty stomach, so to fit it into my schedule with all my other meds, the nurse and I problem solved and we are trying, me taking it by setting my alarm one hour before my waking time and swallowing it with water. Then I am intended to go back to sleep, then wake and have breakfast 'at least an hour' from swallowing the pills. Then 20 mins after eating, take my other chemo pills.
Wel, it is not making me a happy camper! I wake, take my pills with water and then I get up and make breakfast.. and have to wait the rest of the hour before I can eat (or drink it, in the case of shake).
I think feeling 'poor me' is the most annoying part of it all, because suddenly I am analysing everything people say to me and wondering if they think I am an idiot or stupid or something, lol, whereas other times I wouldn't give things a second thought. It is driving me a little batty, to tell the truth. :P
I'm also not very good at making decisions, in this state, so I feel hobbled in trying to find a solution to my seemingly simple problem, especially since I had help to try to plan all the medications timing to start with!
Erp. Well, I will go eat lunch and feel better.
Then I will call the nurse back and see if there is another acceptable time when my stomach is suitably empty and far enough away from my other meds to be safe...
Pleasantly,
-Lea (snoozey)
