It is Friday, the 7th which would have been the last radiation, but due to the ice storm, I have one to make up on Monday...then the PT test to see what the results are.
 Aside from feeling chronically tired, not hungry and just plain blah most of the time, i guess I am doing OK.
 The nagging cough is my worst symptom and i can't seen to shake it no matter what.  It is so deep that it causes incontinence which in turn requires attention, often in the middle of the night
. Apparently it is not lung related but bronchial as the lungs are clear and the oncologists are pleased with my progress.
 Some days i just feel like lying on the floor for hours, which I do not do because I would still be there.
 I am also having problems with my left leg from the hip down . Some days it really is painful, but then again it is the one with all the hardware.
 Occasionally I get a yen for something but by the time I get around to it, it has passed.
 The 2 best things I've had this week are 2 chocolate milkshakes...very smooth..
 The swallowing thing has come back which is very uncomfortable.  feel like I have a pill stuck in my throat because I forgot the magic mouthwash..
Meals are not regularly prepared here so there is lots of inconsistency time wise etc. 
Now that Trin is allergic to seafood, there is nothing the 3 of us can eat together. Gabe plugs along with his repertoire but some of the items I have trouble eating due to texture or spice.
Basically, i guess I am a mess after all.
Must get ready for appt. Cleaning people coming today so I want to clear out...
