I have been walking in a dust storm with so much more being tossed up in my eyes. I was at the doc's office again for some more things. Yes, complaints are always there. Since the beginning of the year, I have had the worst time with the flu and related things. I had had ear problems, bronchitis, migraines and the like. But, the ear troubles are what are bothering me the most. Despite pain reliever and the like, I have had the most frustrating of times. At times, my side of my jaw, my face, my neck and throat that has been hurting me. When I drink cold or hot beverages, I can feel it in my throat as well as in my ear. Today, eating dinner, I could tell how much it hurt by just drinking some hot coffee. So, the next procedure that will be done will be a scope up my nose and down the back of my throat. This is not going to be a whole lot of fun. I am not looking forward to this. When I had asked the doc what he had thought, he was uncertain about what it was; but, I think that he suspects what it might be. He wanted to do this procedure in the office right then, but I did not want it completed. I had to explain to him that things are so much more different after chemo. I am redefined. I had told him about the last time that I had taken the car through the drive through to get washed. I was more claustrophobic than usual. I had to put the air conditioner on and turn the music up more to help with the anxiety. Now? I take a little anxiety meds prior to a procedure. When I had expressed this to the doc and asked if he got it, he sure did. That is so comforting to know that someone else understands what it means to be a little different after chemo.
In the lighter side of the storm, the kiddo is now in foster care until 18. All is quiet on this side of the world. More to share on another day.
Needing water.
