I’m still moving slowly, the numbness in my feet is bothersome and I'm quite tired. However, I’m making some very slow progress in my recovery from last Tuesday’s chemo treatment. I tipped the scale at 156 Lbs this morning. That means I dropped five Lbs in the last five days.
However, my stomach seems to be settling down. I didn’t have to take any anti-nausea medication today and I seemed to eat better. In celebration for a bit of the Vorlon Wife’s Irish ancestry, she made some corned beef and cabbage and that went down quite well.
I happened to watch a show on the food channel this afternoon in which they were highlighting 10 contestants that were competing for a $50,000 prize for the best burger. Although the corned beef and cabbage was good, after watching these people make all those burgers and everyone saying how delicious they were, I was really set for a burger. Sadly, I don’t think I could have gotten any like were being cooked in the contest.
I’m experiencing a little bit of a headache that comes and goes. The radiation techs said that I might get a little swelling form the brain tumors as they are exposed to the radiation. I gather that’s a side effect of they’re being killed off. On the other hand, the headache could be from the chemo or something else entirely. There is just no way to now for sure. So far, it’s not so bad that I have to take anything for it.
Tomorrow I’m going back to work. I have an appointment with a client. I think it is better to get out and do that sit around and mop.
