day 5

Had a bit of a setback this evening. Whilst baby sitting for Martin and Andrea whilst they had an anniversary meal, started for the first time to have feeling of nausea. This may have been due to the psychological fact that you stop taking the anti sickness pills after three days. However on a positive note I had three reasonable size meals today and touch wood have not as of yet thrown up. Funny what you learn. For example in this condition eating bread is hard going. Even toasting it does not really help.
It was a nice day today and we had thought of going to the Botanic Gardens at Ventnor. However the medical warnings of prolonged exposure to the sun came into mind so had a quiet day at home.
Emily and Adam asked me if I still had the hiccoughs. I was sorry to disappoint them but Dr. Hudson's Wonder pills continue to do the trick. Met Martin for first time since starting chemo. He said I looked well and to all outward appearances I guess I do.
It was nice to hear from Perry this afternoon. His concern and caring are much appreciated. We also got the full gen from Lorna and Ian about Delray Beach. They seemed to have had a good time. It was certainly warm enough....day time temperatures well in the 80s. Only problem for them on the way back was being sat on the tarmac for 2 and a half hours in New York whilst one of the engines was fixed.
Finally for now I am hoping to have a better night's sleep than last night. Woke up very early today.
