I’m doing pretty well with this new treatment so far. Of
course, it’s only been one day. However, I noticed a couple of days ago
that the left side of my face was feeling a little funny. My smile was a
bit off and I wasn’t able to close my left eye tightly. I knew it was a very
mild case of Bell’s Palsy now on the other side of my face. I didn’t say
anything yesterday when I went in for my first treatment. It’s not very
noticeable, so I just let it go. I didn’t want to take any chances that
they might not let me on the study. So, I waited until today when I went
in for a blood draw. I told them it was my birthday, so they weren’t
allowed to give me any bad news. Fortunately, there is nothing in the
wording of the study that would cause me to have to quit. I’m so
glad. No more drama. That’s my mantra. NO MORE DRAMA!
Just taking it easy today. I am a bit tired. Don't know if it's the chemo or the gabapentin I'm taking for the Bell's Palsy that's making me tired. Could be both I guess. It's rainy and yucky outside, so it's a good day to stay in.
I hope you're all ready for Christmas. I can't believe it's this weekend! I'm looking forward to it. Just wish we had a little snow.
When I get home to my parents', and after Christmas Eve Mass, I plan on getting in my pajamas and staying in them for four days straight. Hibernating in the house. Curling up with a good book. Also praying for my Emerling Mommy Chris, and that she doesn't feel yucky.
ReplyDeleteRemember what I said before...Christmas just has a way of being fun and magical and so-full-of-love, even during some of the hardest times!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Love, Jackie
