Words Like Locusts Flew From Her Fingers

Healing — and a Good Short Intro to Anti-Nausea Drugs

I found this web page by accident, but I think it’s really quite nice. It’s short and to the point and, surprisingly!, about 15 years old. It’s just a brief explanation of Zofran and Compazine — drugs used to treat chemo-related nausea. (I just popped a Compazine, about 10 minutes ago, in fact. Feeling a little queasy and it’s better to get a jump on these things.)

See the web site.

I’m kind of “hiding out” upstairs at my desk with my laptop computer right now because Rosa, our cleaning lady, is working on the main floor. So, since I obviously have nothing better to do with my time, I took another picture of my port — one week later. It’s looking pretty good, eh? It still has a bunch of glue on it, but that will flake off eventually. (I was sternly cautioned against picking at it.) It seems to be healing quite well. Sorry if this is the sort of thing that grosses you out. I suppose, though, that if you’re that sensitive, you probably shouldn’t be reading my web site to begin with.

Oh, and hey… did I ever mention that this thing apparently goes directly into my jugular? Freaky, eh?
