I'm...New normal
My world revolves around side effects and my pump schedule
Debilitating fatigue - a lot of the time, I look like Tim Conway's "Old man"
Back pain due to worsening degenerative disc disease - Thank radiation
I can't pick up baby granddaughter if she's on the floor. She's already past my weight limit.
Constipated a good portion of the time due to muscle relaxers as well as atropine during Irinotecan infusion.
Itching all the time from steroid skin
Constantly watering left eye
Things, odd things, smell funny and turn my stomach like lettuce and bowl margarine.
Mouth sores getting progressively worse so a lot of my diet now is soft, no pepper, no crispy stuff, nothing hot and I'm not up to cooking anyway.
Chemo brain
Cracked feet and hands from hand/foot syndrome
I'm thankful that I'm still mobile, that the mets haven't spread beyond my liver in the 3 years since I was diagnosed, I am enjoying being a hands-on grandma, I have stuff to numb my mouth (Praise the Lord!), I can still laugh at myself, my wonderful friends here on the CC, there are people all over the world praying for me.I'm sure there are a lot of other things but I got very little sleep last night due to "hot feet", back pain & mouth sores waking me up and my brain isn't working well this morning.
