Plugging along

We are still plugging along here at the hospital. Pam is very fatigued and sleeps quite a bit (I have just finished another David Sedaris book). You know she is not feeling well because she can't really even talk (if you know Pam, then you know that is not normal!) The biggest hurdle is trying to find the right "cocktail" for her. Her throat is very sore so they are putting her on pain meds, which then makes her naseaus and causes vomiting, which makes the throat more irritated (see the dilemna). They are trying different combinations of pain meds (unbelievable how many there are!) and trying to get a combo that works. Other than that, Pam is sleeping, spitting up, talking strangely about eating a pomegranite (morphine!). I am basically a security blanket and silent company, I also keep the nurses on their toes. She is trying her best to smile at times but it is hard. We expect she will be in the hospital until next Monday (all based on cell counts and ability to get her off hydration). I will let you know when she might be ready for a visitor or two.
