I don't know what it is with the weekends, but I seem to spend my Saturdays trying to sleep off nausea!!! Sunday was a lot better, I felt better than I had in awhile. Nausea is pretty much the story of my life right now!!! My mouth sores are improving, I am able swallow soft foods pretty good right now. I guess that is a result of having this past week off chemo. My taste buds are a distant memory!!! Well, that's not entirely true, everything I put in my mouth has a taste...the same taste...ice cream taste the same as potato's...It's hard to describe...its kind of a metal taste...a taste not normally associated with the food chain!!!! I eat now only to keep my strength and to avoid the feeding tube. Speaking of eating... Look at the watermelon Wendell grew in his garden!!!! It weighed 56 pounds!!!!
He had his dad and Bro. & Sis. Jones over to eat it last Friday!!! I had a bite... they told me it had a really good flavor but I thought it tasted like potatos!!!! (get it?)
Here are a couple pictures of me with my new hair do, complete with turbans and scarves.
After waking from a nap this evening, I felt a little draft on my neck. Upon checking in the mirror I have discovered my first complete bald spot. I hope to keep my bangs as long as possible, but I'm prepared if I lose them. Do you know they sell fake bangs and even fake eyebrows!!!
The Doctor started me on a pain patch last week that does seem to help me feel more like acomplishing some things during the day. The bad thing is I don't feel quite the same. So if I have rattled in this post I'm blaming it on the patch!!!
