i'm coping well...
a long day of non-stop iv drip and a lot of lazing around in bed…not bad-huh?
yeah, actually it’s not bad at all…..i was told I won’t get the side-effect instantly. it will usually come at the end of the day or the next few days if I ever get it at all. so, we (hubby and me) watched a couple of movies on my laptop..read some magazines...chit chat a bit and i even finished writing a few back-dated posts (that i intend to publish in this blog today and the next few days) while the nurses flooded my system with packs and packs of fluids ( i think it's drugs + salines to flush it off). they told me they have administered at least 3.45 litres of fluids into my body thru' iv drips and plus oral consumption of 1 litre ++, i practically consumed 5 litres of fluids within 9am to 5pm...that keeps me running to the toilet every half an hour.
i did feel tired..nauseated and very drowsy yesterday...i tried to lay down as much as possible to control and minimise the sickness. so far, there is no acute vomiting. i sleep a lot too, which is good...an area i really need to catch up on.
today...feeling slightly better than yesterday.
thank you ALL for the good wishes, encouragement, concerns and continuous prayers for me...it works miracle.

i remember when my BIL was hospitalised, we used to take turns going to the hospital to buy him lunch and dinner (2 to 4 types of varieties every meal as his appetite changed very dramatically)

Hang In There
Hello, my friend; You’re on my mind,
Because you're somehow ailing,
But your response to any challenge
Has always been unfailing.
So I’m confident you’ll win again;
Hang in there, and you’ll see;
You’ll be back on top in no time,
Tackling life courageously.
