Perpetual flu

So far, being on chemo is like having the perpetual flu or pregnant (like I'd know about that one?). Out of all the more common ailments to get during the winter, I really hated getting the flu. I would religiously get my flu shot every winter. I'd do anything and everything to avoid any events leading up to the hurl.
After chemo and I had to go back to the doctor's office to be re-hydrated via an IV the next day. The nurse said to me, think of the nausea as it feels like to be pregnant. I half-laughed and said, "I have no clue what that feels like." I then made a joke later to my mom about how God is getting me back for avoiding the experience of pregnancy within this life-time.
My white-blood cell count is supposed to be at their lowest levels, so I can't do anything/see anyone, this weekend. All I want to do is recover from all the nausea. Next week I have off from the chemo and I have a meeting with the doctor.
