Rocky start to week #3

Had a tough start to week 3 today. My sugar crashed in the doctors office. Besides getting dizzy I started to sweat pretty bad and looked as bad as I did in ICU. It was chemo day and Mary came to the rescue with a cup of applesauce from my lunch. They checked my sugar and it was at 105 after the applesauce. It took about 15 minutes before all calmed down and I walked in back for the chemo. Another good bloodcount and another Monday of chemo with IV's wide open. Well sports fans I'm down to a svelt 219 lbs. I'm loving it but everyone else is not liking it. I was told this morning at chemo that I am going to have to start supplementing my diet with using the feeding tube. I really have to make a concerted effort into eating at least 3 times or more a day. The overall problem is having a dry mouth and the feeling of having a lump of crap on the back of my tongue that I cannot get rid of. After radiation this afternoon I mentioned this to the nurse and she gave me some drug samples to bring saliva back to the mouth. She also mentioned to suck on hard candy. So Lemondrops(unfortunately not martinis) it is for a while to help with the drymouth.
Before some get all over me for not eating, today was a good day. I started with Malt-O-Meal and a glass of iced tea (bad choice, juice tomorrow), progressed to a Wendy's burger for lunch, and topped it off with dinner at Sweet Tomatoes.(excellent cream of mushroom soup) I also had a couple of protien shakes. To everyone out there in cyberland I will start eating better.

I forgot to mention that I stopped in to the station last week. It was great seeing everyone and filling them in on what's going on. I miss them all.

Thanks to everyone for their support, love, and well wishes.
Peace Out!
