Appetite is Back!

Jo's eating again! In the afternoon she told me that she had cravings for mum's spaghetti...that was a fantastic sign! I called her mum and made the order.

Some pix for you: Above - my bed! Below - that's Jo lying in bed watching TV. The isolated room is really nice. We have our own TV (with HBO, no ESPN or Starsports though sob! sob!)and bathroom. She's definitely better this afternoon. Even the docs commented that she'd looked more vibrant.

She was given a stronger dosage of Kytril and which helped her throwing up. Furthermore, Morphine dose in the afternoon helped ease the pain and allowed her a peaceful rest.

The Pain
The pain emanates from her liver area and is a result of the tumour destruction according to the doctors. Even prior to this Jo was experiencing occasional spasms of pain at the liver area which would just cause her to go into like a "frozen" state until the pain eases off. This time round it occurs when she twists or turns a certain way. The nurses and staff always ask her "what's the pain factor from 1 to 10" and Jo would replying when it was really excruciating with a 7 0r 8. 10 being totally unbearable.

So there you go. In most likelihood, we're looking at a Sunday discharge - God willing. As mentioned I'd rather stay as long as needed till she can be fully mobile with as little pain as possible. Right now movement is still difficult for her.
