It's just about 8pm and Trish is resting (sleeping) well now. Today was marked by a lot of vomiting. Because of her nausea they did not perform the bone marrow biopsy today. Trish was upset as she wanted to be a dutiful guinea pig and provide the marrow. Today's scheduled biopsy like yesterday's was strictly for the benefit of science and had nothing to do with her care. She wanted to help, but couldn't. I was going to head into the office today, but didn't because I was afraid to leave her alone. I probably got more work done in her room today anyway.
Tomorrow will be another day of chemo, both meds. I am hopeful that the nausea is over. They will order a TPN bag tomorrow in the event that Trish does not eat. TPN is the bag of nutrition and if you were following last time it is yellow -- the nurses call it a banana bag -- Trish and I call it the urine bag. Either way it will insure she gets what she needs.
Speaking of getting what you need. Last time I stopped at Target between Aun Mary's house and the hospital almost every day. Trish and I thought we had that beat this time and we packed everything we needed. Well so far I have stopped there every day since Trish was admitted and I need to stop there tomorrow to get some soft tissues for her. Aunt Mary will be happy I am bringing Trish's laundry home to be cleaned tonight.

The night time nurse's aide just came in to take Trish's vitals and her perfume was way to strong. I'm going to talk to the nurse, cause Trish got really sick right after she left and I could still smell her where she was standing.
