That being said, I STILL want to complain. Funny how the day that Tim leaves I feel like garbage. I have been sick all day - well, all day since my McDonald's breakfast. Things went south really quickly after an Egg McMuffin and hashbrowns. (Serves me right for not having oatmeal.)
I popped by the mall this morning thinking I would look at some golf gear, but ended up getting so dizzy and nauseated that I thought I might faint. So I came home and have been laying on the couch ever since trying to recover and get my guts back in line. I have had some wicked heartburn and have started getting some lip/mouth sores again that make eating anything a real treat. FYI, mustard and most salad dressings are off the menu, as is any type of carbonated drink - all are too harsh right now. And as much as I was hoping that the side effects would be better because I am not on Oxaliplatin anymore, I am really finding that my fingers and feet are incredibly sensitive, with constant tingling and sore nail beds. Ah well, things could be worse, right?
I don't know, Barb if it could be worse ;-) It sucks that you got sick on McD's AND you are still suffering with the neuropathy in your hands and feet ( I feel for you...and truly k ow how you feel (I don't like saying that btw 'cause I don't pretend to know exactly hiw anyone else feels). My toes and fingers are bothering me big time....but I successfully mowed down some KFC the other night beofre my chemo (which I have not had for years btw) and a healthy salad of course and didn't get sick. it was great!
ReplyDeleteI say get back on that horse and hit McD's again....try the Hot cakes this time and of course the hash browns. It is worth it isn't it?
