The VA hospital is a federal facility. When I arrived here, they told me under no circumstances could I have cannabis products in the hospital. Which I guess is too bad, because medicinal marijuana is so famous for treating the side effects of chemotherapy. Getting chemotherapy seems like the best time to see for myself if all the hype is true.
These past few days have been difficult. I'm in my second nadir, so hobbies include moving very slowly, staring off into space, and getting stomachaches. I know nausea and vomiting are more common chemo side effects, and I've had very little of that. But plain old stomach pain seems to be my side effect of choice.
So the other night I had this dream where I was laying in bed with terrible stomach pain. And as I was there writhing around and sweating into my sheets, this little elf squeezes himself under my door, jumps up on my bed, and drops a CBD chew in my mouth. That was the end of the dream. Pretty mundane, really. But when I woke up, I didn't have any stomach pain. Coincidence? I'll let you decide. It's just really too bad I can't try this experiment in reality, because if nothing else, I am a law abiding citizen.

What are they going to do? Test all the homemade brownies people bring in? 😉
ReplyDeleteI agree with Christine. I don't know if it would help, but it probably couldn't hurt. It might make your coloring time more fun.
ReplyDeleteI wish this thing would let us "like" comments. I'd like to see Sarah's pot brownie coloring masterpieces.
