Day #17 17 Down and 18 To Go

Day #17 Thursday January 14,2010
Not much to chat about today, kinda not feeling well enough to contribute a lot to the blog today. My mouth has been so sore that all my attention has been on finding relieve for the pain. I try to stay away from pain pills during the day. I may take a pain pill at night to aid in my sleep. During the day I have a topical solution that I can put on each on the mouth sores with a sterile cotton swab. I do that about 4-5 times per day. I am still trying to drink as much as I can but that is a real chore. Things are either too hot , too cold, too thin, or too thick. Everyday it changes.I am writing this on Friday morning before I head out for my 11am RT. I feel like crap today as well. I know some of it is just the radidation and some of it is that , am just tired of not being 100% ME! I haven't been myself since August. What I wouldn't give to be able to have a regular meal and drink.....
Okay enough of pity, pity for me. I can get through this thanks to all of you who are reading and writing and calling me. You may notice that I bring that up a lot in my blog. I want all of you to know how much it helps. Sometimes you may call me and I can't talk but, just the fact that you called , makes me fell better. I will have more about how I am feeling when I write todays blog later this afternoon. For now this is all but remember Day #17 17 Down and 18 To Do
