Pain, nausea and constipation will have the effect of slowing her days sometimes to a crawl. She won't start to experience these systoms as I said until around the 3rd week. Sleep will help pass the time but I couldn't sleep that much. I watched every Discovery channel show, every History channel show, every Judge whoever show, every news broadcast until I was seeing reruns!! I REALLY appreciated the fact that it is a mid term election year because I got to be bombared by all those STUPID elect me or don't elect them commercials. I think they contributed to my nausea and overall ill health.
Anemone,
Tell us(me) more about your husbands DX, TX and recovery. I am 2 months out of TX and I would like to know what to expect if our Tx was similar.
