This is like the Tuesday PM journal entry as I hope to do this for myself mostly to stay sane and keep events clear in my head.
Overall, Tuesday went pretty well for her. She slept her first day until 2 pm and then got up and moved to the couch for the remainder of the day.
She was quite achy and tired from a rough first night and immediately said she didnt know if she could continue. She hates stomach problems and throwing up is one of the worst things for her.
I let the comments basically slide as I figured she just needed to verbalize a bit and get it out. Later I told her she was tougher than that and we could control the nausea with meds as we have in the past with her HIV stuff.
I read her all the comments that people made to the first entry and really appreciate the time people took to respond. She was quite interested in what people had to say. Thank all of you who gave me / us feedback.
Oh, forgot to mention that I called her medical team because she was sleeping so late and asked if she could start her Riboviren On Wednesday. They said that was OK but she had to start it then.

Your wife is very fortunate to have you on her side. I wish I could make it all better for her, for you. I AM not sure if it will help but, some chamomille tea may help with the nauseau, it certainly won\'t hurt anyway. Ginger is also very good for digestive distress and nauseau. Marijuana is wonderful for nauseau too but, given the laws and perhaps your thoughts on it, maybe that will not be an option. It does help A LOT though. Hope you both keep each other strong. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us.
BE WELL.
