Vorlon Whispers

June 10 Update

I guess I am LITTLE better than yesterday. My blood pressure on Thursday was 99/63, Friday 106/66 and this morning 106/67. That’s a bit on the low side and I wonder if it has anything to do with my exhaustion.

Tonight, I’m feeling a little better. My taste buds are making a slow recovery. I have a half a jar of Mott’s Apple Sauce in the frig that I’m waiting on my taste buds for. I taste it daily and, although I COULD eat it now, I’m waiting for a more thorough taste bud recovery so I can really enjoy it.

I can drink my Peach Snapple again – although it’s not as tasty as it was before my chemo treatment, but I can get it down.

I’ve dropped a couple of Lbs and tipped the scale at 149 this morning. That’s the lowest I’ve been in some time. With my taste buds making a slow recovery, I’m going to see if I can pack on some weight.

I’ve picked us a few pains in the last couple of days. I have a little back pain in my left side and I get some discomfort in my left chest area in certain positions.

I went out of a 1-mile walk with the Vorlon Wife tonight. It was a very slow walk, but I did better that I thought I would. She got her exercise today as she also cut the grass.

I’ve lost a layer of skin off my head. I noticed the last couple of days that my scalp was started to flake up a bit. This morning in the tub, I used the Vorlon Wife’s skin scrubber on my head. It brought off a lot of dead skin. I think it’s still recovery from the radiation treatment. I had thought that I had that behind me. Perhaps not.

I’m off to bed.
