I have a habit of talking to myself so I thought if I had a blog it would be like talking to myself but not quite so crazy sounding. Come read my posts and see what I have to say to me and if you want tell me what you think too.

What the Heck?
So, I was not as perky after chemo 3 - no real headache no real nausea - just not feeling good. I slept alot and was not on the computer much except to check e-mail from work and keeping the work flowing. I am hungry, but nothing sounds good, and then when I do eat something it doesn't taste right. I was told chemo can affect your taste buds and it has begun to do just that. I had some frosted mini wheats which I don't usually eat but I wanted something sweet to taste - nothing - was blah. I had some apple sauce - again, blah. Nothing sounds good and during my other 2 chemos I had specific things I wanted - not this time. This is not good because I will not be eating and Dr. Z will not be happy. Believe it or not, I have to work at not losing weight. Who knew? I even have to work at drinking water which I like - just tastes blah - nothing much is helping. The only thing I really like is orange/pineapple juice and I have to be careful because it has high acid which is hard on my mouth. It is all a balancing act. I also have to be careful about my sodium intake because I don't want anything to increase my blood pressure which runs high every time I go to the doctor - but not at home. But the good news 3 down and only 13 more to go. :-))
