Day Minus 5-Nausea and Visitors

The day started off with a visit from my parents and sister, Emmie, who is donating her bone marrow for me. They stopped off to visit following the 1st of Em's shots at the Cancer Center to increase her stem cell production. Em dropped off the Amazon Echo she ordered for me on Prime Day. I ordered the white one. My other sister ordered one later in the evening and hers isn't scheduled to arrive until mid-August. My day was also filled with quite a bit of nausea. In fact, as I was having a conversation with the NP in the morning, I started to feel quite nauseous and started to try yacking in the sink. Now I just stare at my board and see all nausea meds my nurses give me: Zofran, Zyprexa, Ativan, Compazine.

Becky and I tried to catch the weekly concert in the atrium from 1230-130, but they were done by the time we got there. Apparently a lot of the chemo patients go to watch. So my solo isolation room also didn't last very long. In the evening, I was moved again to a shared room after my swabs came back negative for a cold. At least I was flying solo in shared room. The day was capped off with Julian and Michelle visiting for a few hours. They brought the extra luggage I left behind with the rest of my clothes.
