Well, made it to Salt Lake City yesterday and back home today. Yesterday was my biggest worry. I got way tired as the day went on but made it through all the mandatory meetings and site visits. My travel partner, Rich, was very accommodating on dinner. We made a quick visit to Arby's -- Tim would be jealous -- so I could get back to the Hotel and go to bed. Yes, I went to bed at 7:00. I then woke up at 4:00 but felt pretty good at that point. Read for a while then got going for the day.
Since we got finished up yesterday, today was just a matter of going to the airport and flying home. Made it home about 4:45 but I think my family has been kind enough to share their Flu with me. I went to bed right when I got home and slept until about 10:30 tonight. Not feeling very well now and will be going back to bed shortly, but thought a quick update might be in order.
I had my swallow study on Monday and that went well. Still things to work on but she said to just keep eating and swallowing and things should continue to improve for several months. Unfortunately she also said that improvement will continue but will probably NOT return to pre-treatment "normal".
Other than that, not much to report. Obviously fatigue is still a problem. Taste and spices are still problems when eating. And dry mouth continues causing it's own set of problems with no miracle cures discovered to date.
That's all to throw out there for now. Time to go back to bed.
