My stitches look good and a lot of the glue has come off. The inked \u201cyes\u201d by my port site is gone. I still feel pain by the side of my breast\/my underarm, but it has already lessened compared to the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was switched to a new blood thinner medication due to the nausea, but then had a rapid heartbeat, so I was switched back. The nurse said the second medication doesn\u2019t cause that side effect, but this is me we\u2019re talking about!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I realized the other day that I screwed up the dosage. I was supposed to take two pills twice a day for 6 days and then drop down to one twice a day. At some point, I forgot it was supposed to be two and only took one from then on. I think it\u2019s because it looks just like another medication I take only one of. I checked with the doctor and am staying the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I\u2019m having the most difficulty with right now is the yucky taste in my mouth, which \u2013 even though I\u2019ve had it for months \u2013 is now making me sick to my stomach. It\u2019s been 6+ weeks since chemo. Argh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the plus side, if I use a little gel to stop my hair from looking like I was electrocuted, it covers my head and doesn\u2019t look half bad. I prefer it to any head coverings, but unfortunately still get cold, so sometimes I have to give in because it\u2019s pretty thin. Warmer temps are coming this week, so maybe I can go free again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was great having both sets of parents here for Passover. Now Aaron is doing our taxes and Doran is working on an incredibly difficult puzzle I have zero interest in. Two more days of killing time by myself, I mean, two more days until I can use my arm normally (and go back to work!)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
