Here I have been waiting for things to get better. Just waiting and not doing much to help things move along. Getting up each morning after a rather sleepless night, struggling to get my meds down, one at a time instead of taking several at one time. Deciding what flavor of Ensure to have for breakfast when just the sight of the Ensure bottle nauseates me. I declare that Ensure is the most awful tasting supplement ever created.
Enough of the moaning and groaning. When my daughter comes over today I am going grocery shopping to see if there is anything that comes close to Ensure without the nauseating taste.
I first entered the hospital on July 23. I had the lymph nodes on the right side of my neck removed. I found out later they were benign. (This changed the course of my treatment). Then I had implants put in my mouth to deliver radiation directly onto my tongue. I was fitted with a lead device that was designed to protect my teeth and jawbone. It was all extremely painful. Then 2 weeks later I went in the hospital again for the second round of radiation. And now the radiation is done. I can never have any more.
I hope this is a good week for us all. I appreciate the kind thoughts and prayers. Stay safe and be happy!
Beth
