Talk About Side Effects

Today I have experienced two side effects from the chemo.

When I was up and moving today, I felt pretty good, but after being up for any period of time, I slept an equal amount of time. Up for a 9:00 am meeting for an hour - sleep for an hour. Up for 4-5 hours to help run the game this afternoon - sleep for 4 or 5 hours.

And so here I am writing this note later in the evening.

The other side effect is an extreme sensitivity to cold. The worst incident occurred while shopping. I reached into a cool bin to pick up some well cooled cheese and my hand started screaming, well hurting significantly. Since I had other cold items to buy, I was happy to see the research manager happen along to help.

We had only a small amount of time to eat before the 9:00 meeting and so I elected for some yoghurt. The only problem was that it was cold. The research manager solved the problem by warming it up in hot water.

Have you ever eaten lukewarm yoghurt? Revelations 3:16 may have been talking about yoghurt when it says in part, "Because you are lukewarm, I am about to spit you out of my mouth."

The truth is that I did not feel like eating much today at all.

I figured out that the best way to carry Bob was to put him in my pocket. The only problem was that when I was squeezing by some tables at the club, Bob started hitting on some of the ladies (well, hitting their chairs.) I will have to send him back to the clinic tomorrow for behavior training.

And now, back to sleep.
