Hello friends! It's only 9:34 and I'm up! What a nice change from the 10:30 and 11:30 mornings I've been having the last few weeks! Yesterday felt like such a normal day, I was so present in my family's lives! What a blessing!
Happy to report that last night's killer heartburn is settled, though I haven't tried to eat my Greek yogurt and apple sauce yet (a little nervous but also hungry... Yay for an appetite!!!). The new side effect this morning is taste: to be expected but my mouth tastes like yucky icky weirdness and here's probably where all the medical team warnings of "avoid your favourite foods on chemo cuz you'll hate them when you are better" comes into effect!!! Oi!
😃 Grateful to have a fridge and local stores with all sorts of variety of foods to try!!!
Have a great day!
Kristin
Grateful for silver linings, one of which is how family and friends are gathering around us in prayer and with offers of support. Cancer is a lot of hard things. It is already proving to be a lot of connecting with loved ones and strengthening of relationships and that is so, so good.
