Delayed Appointments

Marty and I had appointments scheduled for today for interviews with the medical marijuana pharmacy and Group Health post-cancer care dietician. Unfortunately, Marty awoke with severe intestinal cramps and overwhelming nausea and is unable to leave our apartment. Both appointments were re-scheduled until a week from today.

When cramping and nausea set in, all Marty can do is stay in bed. A hot water bottle eases the cramping to some degree. Only vomiting relieves the nausea, and cannot be forced.

He is very depleted and weak, pale and thin and exhausted. Sleep is typically restorative for him, so hopefully the discomforts will quiet enough to allow him some rest.
