My chemo is 5 pills I take at home spread throughout the day. So far I don't have any side effects. My tummy feels a bit weird but since Im healing from that surgery, I attribute that to the surgery. Im also have very very very dry skin. This is totally uncommon for me. Ive been slathering on lotion like its going out of style to no avail. Im still loosing weight, which is a problem. I haven't weighed this weight for a very long time.
The biggest issue right now is Im very weak. My legs refuse to hold me up walking very long. Its almost as if my feet are not listening to my brain. My ankles roll, and my toes feel numb. Originally I was walking with my cane just fine, but I keep getting weaker. We had to pull out my wheelchair this week. Its so much easier in the chair. I aways push it a bit with walking, just even from my bedroom to the living room I almost fell 2x. thats how bad it is. Im hoping that we get a reason why soon. I have scans for my spine scheduled for the end of the month.
I wish I could get out and play in this beautiful weather. We took Elliot to the park yesterday. They parked me, and I watched him climb, and slide, and have a blast. All we had done was my radiation therapy, the playground, and I was done. I pretty well went home and slept the rest of the day.
Now at noon, Im in bed for my daily nap. At the same time we are waiting on Lowes to deliver a new washer. Ours decided to break last week. Boy do I have laundry piled up. We were blessed with many people offering up theirs to borrow just to get a load done. (and we did get 2 laundry loads done at my sister in laws. Its just going to be nice to be able to do our own laundry.
So that is where we are right now. Just a lot of watching me carefully for side effects.
