HONESTLY HOW AM I DOING!

A truthful witness gives honest testimony, but a false witness tells lies. PROVERBS 12:17

I am doing well today, took nausea pill. Had a great time at the rodeo last night Toby Keith was excellent. I told Jan I was going to dedicate this blog entry to all of my side effects from the chemo. I don't mention them usually because I am not suffering from them when I am working on my blog. I have started getting joint discomfort, and pain, it is not real painful, more like an ache. The chemo makes me not have the ability to handle anything cold, if I pick up a soda or anything out of the freezer or fridge, my fingers start tingling like someone is stabbing them with needles. I also get the same feeling on the bottom of my feet and my throat if I drink anything cold (order an iced tea with no ice people look t you funny). I had stomach cramps before the chemo, and then they went away, since then they have returned. They are generally mild, but occasionally I get one that makes me stop what I am doing for about 10 seconds. Jan wanted me to pass on that my attitude gets real ugly usually about the Sunday after treatment. I don't realize it is happening, once in a while I hear the words I am saying and I know I am being short tempered. It is really nice having a friend that will put up with my male bovine defecate. I have always had a problem with my memory, remembering peoples names, etc., now I suffer from chemo brain, if I get distracted by the smallest thing then I can not remember what I was talking about, it just aggravates me to no end. God bless and may the faith be with you!
