Latest doctor visit

Took Pam to her oncologist, Dr. McNulty, in Wilmington yesterday. Chemo is still delayed until her general health improves. Next chance will be Dec. 20th. Nausea is still a major problem which leads to dry heaves and abdominal pain. She rested well yesterday after the visit. He decreased the interval between doses of pain medication and is treating her for motion sickness to see if that will help with the nausea. She wears a patch behind her ear that is worn by people going on a cruise. How I wish for those days again! The jury is still out on that strategy but we're hopeful.
Had a minor scare this morning around 4 a.m. Pam had asked for some pain medication and when I went to insert it in her feed tube I noticed the stitch had come out and the tube had come out of her abdomen about 5 inches. I called the "on call" number at Chapel Hill and to make a long story short, Dr. "V" said to just shove it back in. Hmmm. Just shove it back in. And so I did and we are back to the status quo hoping for improvements today. As of 5:45 a.m., she is resting well.
