Loss of Appetite.

To be fair, Colin lost weight for a variety of reasons&#8230;
1.  Obstructed Bowels

Before we went to Hawaii, Colin was eating less because of the pain it caused.
It&#8217;s extremely fun for me me that
the internet has soooo many pictures for this&#8230;
This ones&#8230;informative at least.
2.  The Flu (Regular.  Not the swine variety)

Sad?  Abandoned?  Happy?

This was my 9am wake up call!
Colin likes to send me his &#8220;Rorschach print&#8221; tissue picture mail,
with multiple choices of what I think they could mean&#8230;
Who says chemo can&#8217;t be fun?
Stay Positive.  Do the Work.

Colin:  Eric!  How does this make you feel?
Eric:  [waking up and thinking] Why is Colin holding a Maxi Pad?

After a few seconds,
a few CONFUSING seconds,
I realized what he was holding.
A bloody tissue from blowing his nose.
This is cancer boys idea of a &#8220;wake up call.&#8221;

Colin had success with the Magnesium Citrate.
However, the next day, the pain to did not subside.
2 hours after a meal, he was in tears again.
I was at work.
It was Saturday, Halloween night, when I called an expert.

By Saturday, Halloween, the stool softeners were still&#8230;uneffective.
Again, Colin was laying on his side in tears.

I didn&#8217;t know how bad it was until I walked into Colin&#8217;s room and he was laying on his side with tears in his eyes.

The past few weeks have been pretty eventful.
Colin actually ended his first round of radiation and chemotherapy about 3 weeks ago.  
It was during this time his nausea dissipated,
and the constipation / bowl obstruction began.
In addition the over coming his post-treatment side effects,
there have been other exciting developments.
Stay tuned.  We will [...]]]></description>

When Colin told me that he hadn&#8217;t been able to go for the past few days, my first thought was:
&#8220;Now, I can say he&#8217;s clinically full of shit.&#8221;

This wasn&#8217;t funny long.
He had been having trouble with nausea lately,
as most of you should know, but at some point it changed.  
He was having another kind [...]]]></description>

The division of labor:
Colin presents the problem.
Eric finds the solution.

The factors under consideration:
1.  Colin takes chemotherapy at night before bed so he may sleep through the worst of the nausea.
2.  The nausea still lingers when he wakes, impeding his dietary needs.
3.  Colin often wakes at approximately 4 am to pee.
4.  It [...]]]></description>
