Hi Bob- I'm certainly glad that the walker worked out well! What a relief for both of you.

For anxiety, I take a CBD tincture. I take 1500 mg hemp/ bottle. It really works for me and doesn't make me feel stoned or sleepy. If you lack sleep that will increase your anxiety, and make you jittery. When I need to sleep I take both. I don't take any THC because at this time it makes me jittery and I don't need any more than I already have! 🙂

Does Liz like the weight she is now or is she too thin for her liking and health?

Merry

Merry, I have steered away from cannabidiol due drug testing at my place of work. I understand that many products do not contain THC, the potential risk outweighs the potential benefits for me at this time.

Liz has lost too much weight for her size and it has made her weaker by far. She has started eating some solid food or drinking a protein shake at least 3 times a day. Too early to see any real difference, but she is feeling better lately.

She has her second chemo treatment in another 9 days and I expect her to repeat the vomiting for the rest of that chemo week and slowly get better over the following two weeks until her 3rd treatment. At least we know what to expect and may be able to handle it a little better.
