Sunday and Monday went reasonably well. I'm very tired all the time. Partially because of my continued poor sleep and partially because I have cancer and I'm taking a zillion drugs that make you tired.

I did receive my mail-order prescription, finally, for some anti-anxiety medicine that also function as a sleeping pill if you take two at night. I did just that Sunday night and also used a "Wedge Pillow" for the first time. Something went right because I slept through the night.

My mouth and throat are getting progressively more sore since treatment stopped. I guess the Radiation continues working it's wonders for several days after your last treatment. Eating is getting very difficult already. I did stop at a waffle house on the way to work Monday morning and threw caution to the wind. It just sounded too good. I had their all star breakfast -- two eggs, hash browns, Sausage, toast and a waffle. I took me, literally, an hour to eat and it hurt like heck, but it was worth it. Pat (Jen's mom) made meatloaf with roasted Potatoes and Carrots for dinner. Same song, second verse, it hurt like the dickins but I kept after it with my mini-bites, lots of gravy and lots of chewing per bite. Again, it took a long time and it hurt, but it was worth it.

Monday night's sleep wasn't quite the miracle that Sunday night's was. The left Shoulder flared up again. Completely numb from my neck to my elbow and deep pain in the deltoid. Working on four days now so I guess I'll call the doctor about it. Woke up about 1:30, though, and have never REALLY gone back to sleep. Got in a few snoozes here and there but never any deep sleep. Tuesday should be a good day at the office.

Overall summary, then. General body feels great. I'm tired, tired, tired, my mouth and throat hurt like H$%#, and this pesky left shoulder is still a problem. But I'll take all that to not feel nauseous or that heartburn again. Not sure I'll have that choice here before too long but, for now. . . .
