...and to discuss my general "health" with my doctor, since I've been feeling so yucky.
Surprise! I'm doing GREAT hahah. My particular chemo is strong and everything I'm experiencing is what is expected. After getting the fluids I felt maybe 5% better.I did get a new prescription for a med to help with my digestive issues. It slows down peristalsis and I decided to wait until today to try it, as it sounds like a heavy-duty narcotic.
More fun! Hubby had a glass of wine and asked me to drive my car when we went to the drugstore....it wouldn't start! We looked under the hood and there was all this gross stuff on the battery. Will just call the dealer today as he was befuddled by what he saw...hopefully we can get it towed there. It's 3 years old and has never given me a day's trouble. Oh well.
