Storms and ick

The chemo side effects or maybe the radiation side effects or maybe both are starting to hit. James has felt a little lousy yesterday and today. He was still trying to deal with winter storm clean up and may have overdone it. Thanks once again to Terry and Jessie Hart for coming to our rescue with the snow blower.

Last night he had "chills" on and off. When we asked the rad doc this a.m. he said it's probably from overdoing it and also can be a little dehydration and/or not eating enough. The body needs the hydration and fuel.

Tonight he's feeling queazy. He's overlapped two of the anti nausea drugs. Phoebe wanted to make us a big batch of ham and cheddar chowder and the smell of the onions cooking was really tough for him. Need to remember to be more careful cooking in the house.

His temp is also very lightly elevated so we're keeping an eye on it.

I think in general he needs to kick back and rest but it's hard to keep him down. I need to zip tie him to the recliner tomorrow with his gatorade water ensure and yogurt.
