A long day for Mary

Mary had a long day all by herself. At noontime, she was feeling nauseous even though she has not taken the narcotic since Sunday. She called the doctor's office and they recommended that she eat small portions frequently, take a new anti-nausea medication and go back on the drug that knocks down or blocks stomach acid which ran out at the end of last week. With that under control, she seems to have recovered.

Mary did explain what we did with the step down of the narcotic and that seems fine. The office did ask if she needed more painkiller and she said no, that pain was not the issue at all. That is good news.

They also want a blood test to make sure her electrolytes are in balance so tomorrow morning its off to the lab--again. Supposedly, it is procedure because she hasn't had a draw for a month. I think its to see if her diet and fluid intake have been appropriate to keep her body chemistry in tune.

Otherwise, I spent the day at my company's office in Fairfield CA, a 1.5 hour drive with a 6AM departure from Los Gatos and a 2.5 hour return trip home at 5PM. Gotta love our California traffic! Today's meeting in Fairfield ran from 8AM to 5PM. I have to go back for an afternoon session on Wednesday. Its about 83 miles one way from the house so its a bit of a trip.

Tomorrow is a visit from The Maids and I need to go set up the house. I've got about half the rooms ready to go and need to finish before I head for bed.
