Update
Well, progress is slow these days. Some days feel better than others, and I’ve been able to remain consistent with my mouth medications each day, so I know I’m headed in the right direction. Generally my mouth feels slighty better overall than a month ago. The sides of my tongue are still very sensitive and can sometimes become quite painful, especially after talking for a while. Swallowing is not much of a problem, so eating my food each day is not too hard. I feel like once my tongue has healed, I could start eating some different things again, and that is an exciting prospect indeed! I’ve tried scrambled eggs once again (twice now) and was able to get them down. It’s a challenge, but my mouth hesitantly rose to the occasion.
So just to catch up a bit here, other than my mouth, I’m in pretty good shape overall. My energy is good depending on how many calories I can take in each day. I’m able to work outside and get caught up yard work a bit, but for the strenuous things, I’ve relied on my big strong boys. I’ve played drums with the other band mates several times now, which always is a joy. And I love to play my guitars and write silly little songs each day too. Well not really full songs, but more chord arrangements that could evolve into songs.
I also have a checkup appointment with Dr. Woolf next Monday, where we’ll begin to plan for the next Pet CT scan to see how this treatment has fared so far.
