So anyway…..something is going on with the Mister. Nausea, vomiting, severe headache approaching 24 hours now. No pain, no fever, no symptoms elsewhere.
Despite my attempts (bland food, clear liquids, electrolytes, pain relief) he’s no better. Has not been migraine prone prior.
Home health nurse on the way.
Looks like some kind of a viral thing. 31 hrs with no relief from bad headache and nausea even after two rounds of nausea meds. Still no fever. No body aches. No appetite but taking in fluids pretty well. Negative COVID test but will test again tomorrow. All around miserable.
I’m feeling fine. Just hate I can’t fix it for him. Will continue to monitor and assess in the morning. 😔
TBH his immune system is compromised after chemo and surgery I’m surprised he hasn’t gotten something before now.
What an effing day. And currently at the ER with the Mister. So much going on. But…currently getting IV fluids. Bloodwork showed Sodium and Chloride low contributing to his severe headache and nausea/vomiting since Sunday. He’s been through the mill again. Can’t get a fricking break.
Thanks everyone 💜 Another bump in the road. Seems there may be a number of them to navigate on this journey. Most importantly, he’s stable tonight, home and resting. Tomorrow…well we just forge ahead 💜
Back in the ER 😔
He’s being admitted
After a battery of tests, scans, drugs and fluids, a CT of his abdomen indicated inflammatory infectious colitis. The drop in sodium level from the four days of nausea/vomiting. The headache consistently a result of all things going awry.
He’s on two specific antibiotics, magnesium (because it had dropped), sodium slow drip and the 5th anti nausea drug that finally helped him. He will be hospitalized 2-3 days with a GI consult to be conducted.
8 hours later and I’m home. Now to shower & eat.

Glad they found what's going on with him. Best wishes for a quick and complete recovery for him and some rest for you. Do you have someone there to help you take care of yourself? The #CoSoCommunity is here for you too, but sometimes in person support can be better.
