No update last night as I was feeling very nauseous and when feeling that way, I really just lay still and try not to move. I try and deep breathe, and convince myself that I'm OK and not going to be sick. This only works for a while, and for me last night, I finally started throwing up at 12.45am. I was given something for the nausea then and finally fell asleep. Woke at 6.00am and immediately felt nauseous and was given something, and fell asleep again.
Woke around 7.30am when breakfast was delivered and thought I might be OK to get some rice bubble down - so ate them slowly, and then very slowly took my tablets.
Not long after that, they wanted to make my bed, and I thought OK, but as soon as I got up to move around the bed to grab my clothes to have a shower, breakfast started coming up. That was pretty much it for the day for me.
I got back into bed and just tried not to move. Some cyclozene was given to me IV, but I still wasn't feeling great. Luckily the DR's came around early today and we talked about trying to stay on top of the nausea. So they then gave me some Lorazopan (?) which makes you feel a bit sleepy - so I was soon asleep, and didn't wake up until 3.00pm! Unfortunately feeling a bit nauseous - but a bit spaced out after being asleep for such a long time.
THe Dr came in later to check how I was going and I had to say still nauseous - and I questioned about the regular anti-nausea I was supposed to be getting. IN checking, apparently the cyclozine was not given to be at 1.00pm as was supposed to be!
So a bit more medication, and I have managed to eat a toasted sandwich for dinner, but feel I will need to do some deep breathing and focus to keep it down.
I've still got all my pills to get down yet.
Fingers crossed I can get the medics needed to get on top of this nausea and start feeling a bit better. The nausea returning makes me feel like I'm going backwards at the moment).
