No Nausea While You're Asleep

What a weekend.

At some point late on Friday, I guess I had accumulated enough Compazine and Zofran in my bloodstream to keep the nausea away for longer than an hour at a time! Actually, it got to the point where I only had brief periods of nausea. The trade off was that I was like completely comatose. I slept day and night, for most of the weekend. I would wake up briefly, eat or drink something, and then zonk out again.

Sleeping was a gift. Impossible to feel nauseated while asleep! Other than two quick outings, I have been in my PJs and/or asleep continuously since my last report on Friday morning.

The outings were lunch at a Mexican restaurant on Saturday (followed by a long nap) and Costco shopping this morning (followed by a longer nap).

I have not taken anything for nausea since midday today. I even helped make dinner tonight, which was a miracle, because for most of the weekend, when I was awake, I just sat around like a zombie letting Lou, Patsy, and Omer wait on me. I slept all afternoon, though. In a little while, I'll be going to bed, and I expect to fall right to sleep.

I'm going to NOT set my alarm in the morning. I plan to sleep as late as I can and then make the decision to either log in remotely or actually go into the office. If I am still sleeping too much, it would be silly to drive in to the office.

So, thanks for the nice messages!  It was a heck of a weekend, but I seem to have made it through to the other side.
