Fun With Nausea

Unknown Son had his regularly scheduled chemo round yesterday. Unfortunately, it was followed by nausea and vomiting starting about 5:00 and continuing throughout the night. So, this morning it was back to the clinic for anti-nausea meds and fluids (that much vomiting leads to dehydration, which isn't a good thing).

By the afternoon, he was back up to code, and we came home. Unfortunately, we had another incident later on at home. Without going into too many details, let's just say that our plans to get a new couch (our old one is about 10 years old) have now been accelerated...

Ah well, "stuff" happens (sometimes figuratively, and sometimes literally).
