sick this week

I've been really sick this week. It started out with some debilitating headaches, worse than I have ever had. The doctor put me on Vicodin since the Advil was no longer working and rushed me in for an MRI to check out the lesions on the brain. The MRI turned out to be fine and the Vicodin seems to be working well. Then I couldn't keep any food/liquids down for two days and I was coughing a lot. I was getting dehydrated, weak and tired. I went into the hospital for a fluids IV which included saline, nausea medicine and steroids, that stopped the vomiting but the doctor is still worried. He's talking about doing a lumbar puncture on Monday to extract some spinal fluids and do some more tests. It all depends on how I feel on Monday. Monica and the kids have been fighting flu like systems for the past month, so I think it has just finally caught up with me. I have more chemo scheduled for Monday. My voice was doing pretty good last week, it seemed to be getting much stronger, but with all of the vomiting and coughing this week, my throat is just raw and I have no voice left at the moment. Hopefully it's just a matter of time to heal now that the vomiting has stopped. Fun stuff. Take care. -Eric
