Joyce had a very good night, she was still sleeping when I got there, so both of us dozed for a while. She did have somewhat of an upset stomach, but not bad. We had two Doctors visits before 8:30. The oncologist asked how her chemo treatment went, which was very good. The gyn-onc was there to talk about her gut. Unfortunately there was nothing to report except a gurgling stomach.
Joyce also got a shower and then we set our goals for walking, puffing, and belly dancing! By puffing, we mean the "Inhalation Sperometer," the thing that helps clear your lungs so you don't get pneumonia and increase lung capacity. Joyce has taken a class in belly dancing, and knows some of the actions are excellent for the body.
The gyn-onc doctor said maybe we need to go to a different environment to get the guts moving. This could be home, but she can't eat yet, so we would have to take the IV tower with us. The IV tower is made by Baxter! So, this is a possibility that may happen this week, unless other things change, of course!
So we walked and puffed and moved the body and she had a Healing Touch" session, and still now gut activity and still n o t h i n g ! Maybe tomorrow!
