Saucy dunks make Dad blow chunks!

Saucy dunks make Dad blow chunks!
This is a rhyme my daughter made up recently in response to my increased bouts of vomiting. I keep eating things I probably shouldn't have such as dunking crisps into sour cream dip, or having crackers with humous. Stuff I wouldn't have necessarily considered bad for me, but my stomach disagrees. It's happening about once a week this past month. I had another episode a couple of hours ago when my lunch came back up. Tuna salad - seems innocuous enough as I'm not supposed to be neutropenic, so salads should be ok - unless I am neutropenic again. Blood levels can waver like this for a while after a transplant. I'm due back in the hospital tomorrow so I'll discuss with the docs and see what's going on. On the positive side, I'm getting comfortable with puking and getting quite good at it too! I wonder if I can get a job throwing up?

Other than that, I'm doing well at the moment. No major problems to report. Even had a lovely holiday with the family in Ireland. I had some great swims in the sea - the docs were cagey when I asked them if I was ok to swim, but couldn't give me a reason not to other than the usual be careful and don't eat any chocolate bars that might be floating by :-)  As it turns out, one of the beaches we visited was closed because a local sewage works had problems and there was stuff in the water. Needless to say I didn't swim there.

We'll see what the docs say tomorrow regarding my new "talent". Who says chemo and transplants are no fun?!
