My counts were checked on Thursday and they are progressing as expected. I have not encountered any other issues so far. The apartment is only 8 short blocks from the hospital so it is easy to get there for appointments. Currently I am scheduled to visit the hospital twice a week for testing while we work through this recovery period.
There are plenty of grocery stores and restaurants nearby for meal-planning. I only get take-out from a restaurant and we ensure it is fully-cooked and follows the guidelines provided to us.
I still get a metallic after-taste after I eat anything, which is a side effect of the chemotherapy. It is just an annoyance, but it detracts from post-meal satisfaction. I usually just take a mint afterwards to help eliminate that taste.
On Friday the weather was iffy so I decided that instead of a walk I would just go up and down the stairwell a couple of times. This building has seven floors, so you can get a decent workout in a short amount of time.
It is funny how we are creatures of habit. Even though I have no hair on head, I continually reach for the shampoo when taking a shower.
Glad you’re doing well George. Thank you for blogging to let us know how you’re progressing.
