Well folks, made it through another chemo session. This one has left me feeling more nauseated than the others. It is forcing me to take my nausea medication more often. This chemo has brought on another strange sensation; my mouth is now very sensitive to cold like my hands and feet. I can no longer taste anything. It is as if it never existed; everything tastes bland. I am not liking this sensation at all especially since I love food and love to eat different variety of food. I tried spicing it up with hot sauce, but that only left me with heartburn.
My hands and feet are still having issues where I cannot feel them or they become painful especially in the morning when it is cold. I look silly, but I wear gloves through out the day. Even now as I type this, I feel my fingers going numb and the pain hitting me.
The mouth issue is rather interesting. I have to make sure that the food and beverages must be at room temperature or else icicles forms in my mouth, starting at the tip.
As always, I am taking it one day at a time. This seems to work for the best. If I can make it through one day, I can look forward to the next.
Today, is an ok day. My morning started out with nausea and bit of headache. After getting past this and the stress, I was able to get my gloves on to protect my hand so it would function normally.
I am spending the day helping a friend at one of his jobs. It's interesting learning about plumbing. Who knows I might learn a thing or two :) I think I am enjoying the children at this house more. They are very fascinating and sweet. The boy is ten years old,name Cherokee and his sister couple of years older name Ruby. Since I miss my boy a lot, I love the fact that these kids cling to me in ways. It makes me miss David just a little less.
I guess that's all for now. Thanks again for all your support and love.
