How to describe this past week?
It was one of the tougher ones The major issue has been mouth sores and dry mouth.
Oh yes, I also developed a rash on my left leg.
Oh, and I had a tooth infection.
Well, I also had to have two shots on Friday and Saturday to boost my white blood cell count.
If you listen to the research manager, I also have trouble speaking properly. However, I caught her miss-hearing things said on the television this past week. Therefore, I am somewhat skeptical of her observation. If it weren't for the fact that many others have trouble hearing me, I would discount her perspective entirely.
However, a prescription for an antibiotic and one for steroids for the rash and one for the dry mouth seem to be improving things and I am just these last few days beginning to feel human.
This past week has also brought some stress building events. First, the research manager getting a call at 3am advising her that one of her guardian ad litem children had run away. A few days later we, well she, ended up dealing with an emergency dental issue at midnight. I could not get my car to start because the ignition had locked and had to wait two days to get it fixed.
But, I want you to know that with all that stress, my blood pressure was the lowest ever (117/76) yesterday. Further, the shots have boosted my white blood cell count to a slightly more acceptable level. If we relax, things will work out as they should.
One final piece of advice. Never, and I mean never, let the research manager ride in your car. You will hear everything that is wrong with it and your car's feelings will be hurt.
