My final Duffy was thankfully not the worst I've had. I was pretty nervous this morning though. My Duffy was scheduled for 9:15am and around 8:00 my stomach started getting all tight and I felt like I was going to puke just thinking about it all.
I tried my best to relax as I drank lots of water. Eventually the call came for me to Duff one more time.
The actual Duffy went pretty well. I was vomiting quickly, after just two glasses of beer it was coming back out. It seemed to go fairly fast, maybe I was just in a hurry to get it over with. But all the alcohol seemed to come up in the treatment room. I only vomited once back in my room, and that was after the Butterfly. In general it went fine, I didn't feel all that sick afterwards.
So now the treatment is finished. No more recaps, no more Sleepys and no more Duffys. It feels weird to be graduated completely, to have no more treatments scheduled. It is like an empty feeling, but I don't feel empty. I guess this is just an example of life moving on. I was a patient, and now I'm not.
This has been a great experience. I am very grateful for Schick Shadel Hospital.
