My time off is coming to a quick end. I can't believe how the days fly by now. I have so much more to do. Maybe I should have waited to go back to work until the following Monday...nah...I'll be ready by Wednesday. There will always be work to do around here. I need to get away from the housework and get to the office where I do more challenging projects. Housework will get done as it usually did, on weekends or evenings.
Today I'm feeling pretty good. Tylenol was not needed during the day and I don't feel I need to take any this evening. I'm ready to put that bottle of pills away with the others I don't need anymore. It's nice to clear off the counter of all the drugs I was taking. I didn't have a lot, but more than a one-a-day vitamin is too many for me.
My mouth felt much better today. Not as much tingling going on in there. It helps to keep a bottle of water around all the time and sip from it often. And brushing with the Biotene toothpaste 3-4 times a day also helps. My nose is still stuffy, but I'm not worried. It will clear up soon.
I just zipped on over to the bathroom scale to see what I weigh now. In my pajamas I topped out at 117.2 lbs. Not bad after four rounds of chemotherapy. I think that was close to my starting weight. I'm still a little low from my target weight of 120, but I can add three pounds on in the next month or so. I hope it is muscle weight though and not fat. I need to get back to the fitness center and work with the machines again. Walking is good, but it doesn't build muscle.
