radiation day 30 of 35
Finally, I can say...ONE MORE WEEK...then, though the burning will persist, no new damage will be inflicted, and healing will be a slow steady process. The oncologist upped all my meds, including adding a "patch" of narcotic, which will be upped to 2 or 3 patches worn simultaneously. Not to replace the hydrocodone, but to add to it. He also had several suggestions to make this week more bearable. It is a full time job just keeping all the meds straight and getting hydration accomplished. Kathy has written out a complete schedule.
I am fairly well miserable...again, today. The oncologist stated I am one step beyond the normal level of beaten up at this point, though, he said, that could be worse...two or three steps beyond, and they consider hospitalization. It looks like I will get through this without requiring that. I will take all the meds they want me to take; I am beyond protest, and I look forward to my next dose of hydrocodone like it's a banana split.
Good friendly comfort food list..any more? Looks like a lot of people pick ice cream. I'll stick with my bagel, or as Ann said, a piece of Pizza, and I agree... even bad Pizza beats about anything else.

We continue to pray daily(sometimes for often than that) for you. The finish line is getting nearer. Hey, Cheer the Huskers to a victory tomorrow night. :)
ReplyDeleteHow about an Oreo and a glass of cold milk! Or a Dove bar. Give me chocolate every time. Don't spare the meds. For now consider that your "comfort food".

More friendly comfort foods? I submit to you: peanut butter...toast...Peanut butter ON toast... Mmmmmmmmm. Just the smells of one or the other or both send me. Add a cup of good coffee and I float toward the ceiling like that cartoon dog with a dog biscuit. (Not flattering, but close to the truth.) Wishing you comfort and thanking God for your wonderful Kathy.
