As soon as we got in the car and left the clinic yesterday, Darrel was feeling nauseous. When we got home he smoked a little ‘medical marijauna.’ He seemed okay for a while, then came in and asked which drug he was to take for nausea. He took an andonsetron.

We went to the Wamsley’s for the first pre-season Seahawk game and he seemed to be doing better. Had fun with them and Brian and Colleen. The game was delayed due to lightening so we ended up leaving before the 4th quarter. Darrel fell asleep on the couch shortly after we got home and slept in until almost 7!

This morning he went for a walk and was gone for about an hour and a half. I could tell as soon as he came in that he wasn’t doing so well. I asked him if he had over done it, and he said, yes.

I left a few minutes later for my belated birthday pedicure. When I came back an hour and a half later, he was in bed. I had planned on vacuuming but decided to crack the rest of the crab he had cooked on Wednesday. He slept for about 2 hours after I came home.

When he did get up, He told me he had a temperature of 101. He took it again and it was 100.4. He ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich with a glass of milk. Then he went outside and did some watering and things in the yard, then played a computer game for a while. He finally took some oxycodone and then decided to go out to check his bee hives.

He seemed quite exhausted when he came in but his sister, Julie, was having everyone over for dinner to see Chelsea and he was determined to go. So, we headed over around 5:30. He did pretty good and lasted much longer than we both thought.

I guess we have been lucky he has done so well for so long. Hopefully, it was an aberration and he will be back to his chipper self soon.
