Made it past the dreaded 2nd week of Chemo treatment...that's when the probability of heavier side effects are supposed to hit. Luckily this time only some chills and achiness which was quickly resolved with a few doses of EX Tylenol, per Drs. orders.
No loss of appetite, no lack of sleep, and no heavy nausea. Onward KT charges into this fray. Good news at the last Chemo was the Dr. telling KT that He could skip the usual 2 week dr office visit! Now that is progress!
Have yet to miss a day of work due to the way KT feels. One unusual thing the other night...sitting on the Royal Couch and suddenly KT feels the toes on His right foot start to pull and curl under in a cramp....after straightening them out, it happened a second time. KT immediately recognized a lack of salt that day in his diet and went and got some salty V8 juice, added more salt to it and drank it down. After a couple of minutes the effect quit and has not recurred. KT is more alert to his body than He had ever been, so perhaps that is one good thing the King has learned from all this! PAY ATTENTION!
Anywho, KT just wanted to report that all is well presently in KingTotsalot's Realm...He is sleeping well, now that the Royal Hound was banished from the bedroom, eating well, and enjoying each day as it comes!
Thanks for reading and for your concern, all you MDers of the Royal Forum Round Table!
KT takes it one day at a time and smells the roses by the road every day!
