I have done some really classical napping the last two days. I also spent about 90 minutes at my office today. I am pretty chemo-fatigued – although Brigid (bless her soul) says I don’t look too bad.
In hindsight, the experience with the morphine was pretty strange, as I think I mentioned a few days ago. Even though I had a very low dose, I definitely had some mental effects, mostly tied into strange daydreams in the hospital, when I was napping. I have no recollection of dreams at night; perhaps because of the Ambien (5-mg. dose) I took most nights. I have spoken to two other people, who also related odd experiences on morphine.
Also in hindsight and as previously related, the IV attachment for 19 days – having to stay within three to four feet of the mobile IV pole – that was weird. On at least three occasions since I’ve been home, I’ve gotten up and said to myself “Opps careful of your IV.”
My weight loss for the stay was 10 pounds – I left the hospital at 151 lbs. I am quite happy about that, but strongly un-recommend the weight loss technique
