Got my pump off yesterday for the last time. So all the logistics of treatments and chemo are done. But right now I feel a long way from celebrating and recognize that we've still got a long way to go.
Last night I spent the evening vegitating in the recliner and just kept feeling worse as the evening went on. I'm sure part of that had to do with Mizzou's abysmal performance in the Big 12 Championship Game, but most of all I just plain don't feel good. The Doctor called as a follow-up from my visit last week to tell me my culture tested positive for a Staph Infection. Not sure how much that's contributing but I just feel bad. In addition my mouth and throat are doing their on-going thing and this mucositis thing is not only disgusting but painful and a regular source of difficult gagging. My hands have decided again, to swell, peel, get red and to hurt like heck. Only this time my feet have joined in on the fun so walking is almost as much fun as buttoning my shirt or opening a prescription bottle.
No real Nausea. I've had a little vomiting but I think it was because of coughing and gagging rather than nausea. We're keeping an eye on it, though, and won't mess around it if we see any sign of nausea that might be getting me into trouble.
Feeling incrementally better today. I was hoping for more progress but I know I'm going to have to be patient.
