Oh what relief! The days are so much better! With the exception of one nausea pill every 48 hours, I am not taking any medicine! Yahooo! Although, I still face a lot of side affects I’m happy to know they can be managed. (These days!)

Today I have a little headache, a little bellyache, A LOT of tiredness and A LOT of soreness! But nausea always a step behind me, never ever going away. Most of my time spent managing my nausea hoping it never catches me but letting me know it’s still with me. This is probably the hardest part for Mike! Haha!

“Please bring me water” …water like we always do, a bottle.

“No, water with lemon this time” …water with lemon in the same glass.

“No, I need cold water this time!” …not the warm stuff we used yesterday.

No, cold water with lemon and in a new glass”…even a glass makes a difference!

The slightest smell, good or bad will turn my stomach, wasting my calorie efforts! Which I must say, I’m keeping up! When he decides to eat, we have to have a plan! Yesterday, I took a shower, he cooked his steak and we left the apartment with open windows and Lysol! His belly so happy, he had to look at those steaks for days!

We decided to head to Meijer at 7:00 pm.

I’m so used to pushing myself, always getting the “third” wind. I felt pretty good, all dressed, showered and entered the store on a mission! Needless to say, I could barely walk, legs crumbling with pain, striking my back again. Determined to finish, I stopped at every bench, rested and continued our night. We then hurried home, ending our date but I knew I won, I finished the list!

I look forward to the days when my blogging includes stories of my girls, more active days and blogging more natural for me!
