Thought of the Week

  • "Having OCD is like being allergic to life - every waking moment is spent in a state of mental hyper-sensitivity.”

Why am I returning to this blog after so long?

During this next year, this blog will "document" Devin's OCD, and the improvements she makes. In no way is this blog meant to make anyone feel sorry for our trials. We know that trials are merely blessings in wolves' clothing. Because any improvements will be minor and subtle as the days go by, I want to write it all down so that I can look back and see how far Devin has come. If you are a first-time reader, I suggest you begin by reading this post. It will give you some background and show you a starting point. Comments are welcome, but please be kind. This is not an easy illness to deal with. We're all just doing the best we can.

Day -6

Not much new today. He was given two new chemos today. He's had the first one before. It makes him a little nauseous, but it was pretty well controlled with antiemetics. All food was kept down today. The second one is secreted into the mucous, so during the infusion, he had to rinse his mouth out with water every 10 minutes to avoid mouth sores. It was only for about 2 hours, so not a big deal. These infusions have to be given every 12 hours for the next three days.
