Week Two - An Easier Start

It was almost, just another ordinary day. I felt great this morning and most of the day. After lunch, I completed another 3-mile walk around the neighborhood.. I heard rain is coming tomorrow, so I took advantage of the sunshine today.

I picked up my fluoride trays today. They are pretty neat. They mold around my teeth perfectly. The instructions are to use them once a day, soaking my teeth in the fluoride gel for 30 minutes. I gave this a try this evening during a movie we were watching. I guess I put too much gel in the trays this first time. When I slapped them on my teeth, a bunch of gel squished out and I had to spit out a mouthful of fluoride. Yuck! Other than overdosing on the gel, they fit comfortably and did their thing. I feel good that my teeth are getting all this protection. The last thing I want is this chemotherapy treatment leaving me with any collateral damage. I'm pretty sure I'll still have my terrific and expensive smile when this is over and done.

I'm just a little achy as I get ready for bed. I'm going to take some Tylenol PM tonight and try to sleep in in the morning. No reason to get up early tomorrow so a little extra sleep is my plan. I need to be able to stay up for New Year's Eve tomorrow night. We don't have any party plans but I can't remember ever missing the chance to ring in the new year even if it's just the 3 of us at home. I'm thinking it might just be my son and me up at that time, but you never know...maybe the hubby will last that long too.
