Today is a hard day. It seems that the sores in my mouth are getting worse. In addition, I have gained about 15 pounds in the last couple of days of water weight. Also, for the last two nights my wife has said that I have had terrible sleep apnea. Did anyone else experience apnea? I assume it is related to all of the mucous etc.

I see the Dr. tomorrow. My plan for the day is to take my allotment of narcotics and get by. Thanks for letting me complain a little. I'll try to be more upbeat on the next post.
