Keep a calendar on the fridge that you can cross off each day, it helps to track the days. John kept a notebook and wrote down the date at the top of each page. He would write down EVERYTHING he consumed that day and what time - food, liquids, meds etc. He had really bad nausea and was on both Zofran and Compazine through treatments. Don't let this get on top of you. Continue to post all your questions, comments and concerns. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! My mother's favorite saying was "This too shall pass". Good luck.
