Another day

Well, today was different from yesterday in that I didn’t feel all that horrible in the morning.  Just the usual aches and pains in my shoulder, neck, and jaw, but no serious fatigue to speak of.  My mouth and gums are mildly irritated, pretty much unchanged since yesterday.  I did manage to get all the kids off to school by myself, so I wasn’t that bad off today.  The rest of the day was fine, but I am taking more of the Lortabs than I’d like, I’m up to 4 today. 🙁  Tasting stuff is a wash.  With a burned tongue and sore gums, it’s not that surprising.  I had an egg taco today that was quite tasty.  The mashed potatoes worked well again today too.  I even had chicken noodle soup for dinner (had to let it cool off a lot) and could actually taste all the flavors.  They were a little bit off, but still pretty good.  Homemade soup beats all!  A cold spell hit me in the early evening and as usual later too.  Seems to be my body’s way of dealing with disease.  Something’s wrong and I start feeling like it’s 50°F in the room.  Very inconvenient when you’re trying to interact with the family.

Met with the radiologist today.  Quick visit, since there’s not too much going on that I can’t deal with yet.  Got weighed again.  Annoying.  Not losing any weight.  Which is good.  But the weight is annoying.  If I don’t lose weight with this, I’m definitely doing it afterwards.
