I have completed my first 5 days of treatment and it seemed to be quite easy. First rest day has been a bit tough. Anything touching my stomach is a bit painful as it is like I have sunburns across my abdomen. The issue is that we are in a cold arena so I am wearing multie jackets and a heated vest. Mel thinks that I look grumpy and uncomfortable. I think she forgot that I am a method actor and I am trying out for a part of a Christmas play where I want to play the Grinch. If I scowl enough and look like I am miserable I should be a shoe in.
The biggest difference between Mel and I is that when I am not feeling well I want to beeft alone. Mel is quite caring and wants to take care of me. When she is not well she also wants to be pampered. At breakfast this morning, prior to eating my chest felt right and I was in some discomfort. I was light headed and did not really feel well overall. I ended up throwing up in the vehicle. Not because I ate too much, but because I was not comfortable at all and was rather nauseous. After some rest at the hotel things were a bit better. My food intake for today is about abysmal. It is nowhere near as high as it was on other days. I had 2 coffees today from 2 different places and they were both underwhelming. It is ok though as I think I will recover in the next two days. Tomorrow it is a very early game at 8am and then we will head back to Sudbury where I will need to recover. My parents are bringing dinner so that will help out a bit. Mel says that when I do not eat properly during the day she needs to act as my frontal lobe. Which means she needs to help me make decisions because I do not always make the best decisions for myself when this is all happening. It is ok though as we do not have anything major now until we go away to Ottawa so I have some weeks to adjust to all of this hopefully. We are back in the hotel room now so I am going to relax a bit and watch the Ohio State vs Indiana game and get to bed early for tomorrow.
