Some of the fun the duo got into...
Am I the only grown woman who still gets all teary when you have to say bye to family?! This was a hard one because although I'm doing great, I can imagine how hard it must be for Dad to leave his little girl knowing that there's a big hill left to climb ahead...don't worry Dad, I'm going to be ok!! (although I'm not so sure he wasn't more sad about leaving his little buddy. haha)
On another note, still feeling good, just worn out! I can't seem to fight off the cold I have, but still not as bad as the one I had a couple of weeks ago. And a new side effect I'm experiencing that I was really hoping to dodge is the final goodbye to my taste buds...waaaaaaah!!! You know the feeling when you burn your tongue from eating something too hot? It doesn't hurt, just a fuzzy tongue feeling, can't taste anything on the burnt spot, but goes away in a few hours because your taste buds can heal really quickly. Well, cells in your mouth are some of the fastest growing cells in your body and all of those quick growing cells (not just the cancer cells and remember my hair's gone too!) are being axed by the chemo drugs, so bye bye taste. I'll be able to taste again (hopefully sooner than later!!), just like my hair will be back, but I am having a bit of a pity party again for myself. Just keep trying to remind myself that these little things have to be thrown out with the bath water if we are going to get rid of all of the cancer cells too. That right there is the biggest win I can give myself about this topic. Yall know I love my snacks.
Please don't complain to me anytime soon about not liking the way something tastes. I might have a meltdown. Just kidding, maybe not kidding, well, kind of kidding. I will try and take a nap and come back to you guys with a better attitude, but I can't promise that I'm not going to come back to talking about my favorite snacks.
Eat something yummy and enjoy it today!!
Jenn
