Good morning... Just checking on Pap this morning... Still the headache? Any nausea?

Response from Mom:

Good morning to you. Another rainy morning here. He has not complained of headache or nausea so far but the pain was pretty severe last night. It wasn't until nearly four this morning he slept for any length of time. Took stronger pain med at one and again at seven. Pain in all joints. When he had severe pain after first chemo in February we went to doctor and he said the chemo is attacking the bone marrow. Got better after a couple days back then so I am sure all day will be difficult for him today.

As the doctor says getting chemo is hard work.

Evening text from Mom:

After that bad night of pain he has been able to keep it under control today. He has taken the stronger pain med at 7 and then the other one at 10 then stronger one at 1 then mild again at 4. Time for stronger one soon if he chooses. Don't know if you should take them like that but it controls the pain that way. Perhaps after another 24 hours that will wear off. Very similar reaction like the first time when we ended up going to Bellaire. I think that eased up in a couple of days.
