It is a thin line between reporting and whining---if it seems like a whine try to read it as a report. It seems like everyday there are some good times and some hard times. We walked a mile yesterday morning, but I was tired so we came back. I am developing sores in my mouth and my tongue and lips feel like when your feet go to sleep. My appetite is good then bad almost moment to moment. The Doc was concerned because I have lost 6-8 lbds. After radiology yesterday I got up off the table and was naseous and dizzy. It took me a awhile to get my land legs back. Dr. Smalley was very positive and upbeat---but told me I really needed to keep up my weight.
So we went over to the local 56 Diner and I had a chicken fried chicken steak, mashed potatoes, gravey and corn. I sopped up the gravey with bread. This morning I had gained 1/2 lb. Who said your momma cant cook. Unfortunately the rest of the day my stomach decided to react like a washing machine and agitate. Kaye went over to babysit and left me with strict instrctions on what to do---so nice being married to Ms. Director. I received a care package from my sis Darlene and her stalwart Gerald---how did she know that I needed some Holloween candy corn.
Against the Directors orders I knew it would be good for me to walk and get some fresh air so I went out and had a nice 1.5 mile walk---listened to my friend Stephen Bennett's music---and just had as nice a time as one could want to have. Music and a beautiful day---the only thing missing was sweet babes (sleeping) and young lovers holding hands---friends it gets no better.
Yes, Kaye I really did eat a little chicken and some bread last night I didnt just cut some off and throw it away---I was tempted---my biggest disappointment was that the choclate candy that was available was tempting but everytime I thought about eating some of it my stomach did a piroette (I think that is close to the word used for dancers spinning).
Feel pretty good this morning and plan on walking this afternoon. Of course I have my radiation then we are going to meet our friends Pat and Jim for lunch at Shawnee Mission Park.
The upside of cancer seems to be you can eat any damned thing you want---the down side is you cant stand the sight of food, now who said God doesnt have a since of humor.
So it goes
