Kevin was feeling a little nauseous this morning, so we skipped his therapy, but he felt somewhat better this afternoon. We did go over to Breezy's place to allow the utility people in to get everything turned on, but he still wasn't feeling quite up to par so he mostly lay in her bed. After that, we just came back to the hotel so he could get to bed early.
The nausea is something we have to figure out soon. We had always assumed it was part of the TBI, but the neurosurgeon here at BAMC said he felt it was something more to do with his intestinal area. He suggested we get that checked out so I guess we will have to within the next few months.
There are always so many things that need to be checked or figured out. I have this mental list of things that need to be done going in my head and it's sometimes so hard to keep it all straight. I swear, we really do need an assistant, lol.
And Breezy's first day of work went really well. She had nothing but good things to say about her co-workers and she really enjoys dressing up for work every day (that'll get old quick though - she just doesn't realize it yet, lol) so today really reinforced the notion that this is the right choice for her. I know it's going to be hard when we leave, but she can do it. I know she can! I am just so proud of her for making this choice and doing something about it. We will miss her, that's for sure, but it's time she steps back into her own life.
And now I am going to go play yahtzee online. I just want to do something mindless for a while...

To Kevin and your family, our thanks and gratitude on Veteran's Day and every single day.
Hope Kevin is feeling better.
That nausea is a shame. One more thing for you to worry about, as you say, and one more thing he has to endure. I hope it gets resolved soon. Could it be an inner ear problem? If you haven't already, start a diary of what he eats and when he gets the nausea so doctor will have something to look at. GI docs appreciate that. He'll probably need a colonoscopy and/or endoscopy, as well.
Take care. I'm so glad to hear that Breezy is enjoying her job and is getting back to a normal routine. I'll be praying for you all. It's so awesome that the fluid hasn't been building up!!
Feel Better, and hope you had a great Veteran's Day....thanks to Kevin (and you!!) for your sacrifice for our country! Love you!
note: don't talk and type at the same time - you end up typing what you're saying....LOL.
