It's remarkable how similar our timelines & experiences are. One major difference is that my "chemo feet" do seem to be gradually recovering, and I seem to have escaped any effects on my hands.
But yeah, the anti-nausea meds given in the cocktail preceding Chemo Infusions seemed to be a guarantee that I would have nausea. One memorable infusion session I was turned on my side since that was usually where I wound up to deal with the, apparently expected, Side Effect whose name I cannot now recall (thanks "Chemo Brain") I had my right hand grasped around the arm of the infusion chair so tightly that I simply wouldn't have been able to let go.
And don't get me started on the fact that none of the hospital furniture fits me given my short stature and tipped pelvis. I suppose people who exceed the standard-model human have the same problem finding places to sit while waiting and treatment chairs that allow them to be comfortable.
