Thanks, everybody,
It's good to hear from all of you. There are so many different kinds of "normal" to this thing - sometimes I start feeling like I should be one of those who can eat fried chicken(!!!!) in two weeks after radiation, and then it is good to hear that others have had to wait months to eat anything solid. Right now I count myself lucky if half a milkshake stays down.
Loved to hear about your life issues, Ed. I got furious when my husband's car broke down on the way home from one of my last radiation treatments. I felt it was unfair that anything else could go wrong when things were already bad enough. But I am glad that I have my basic needs covered and don't have to worry about the rent or food for the children (they are all on their own, as a matter of fact).
And especially for the airconditioning!!! It was one of the things that is wrong with the car, but at least it is cool in the house.
And the day will come when I can eat and taste all the food that smells so good. And when I won't be too sick and tired to enjoy my grandson's visits.
Yes, it definitely goes up and down - yesterday I was too sick and sad to write, today is much better.
Thanks, Leena
