Mouth Sores . . .

I just tucked Mat into bed, after all, it is technically "tomorrow".  I am a night owl, but by this time of night, I generally have it pretty well wrapped up.  I just observed an interesting contrast between us.  He sleeps downstairs (in the master bedroom) in full pajama gear, under our big, thick bedspread plus another thick blanket over the top.  I am currently sleeping upstairs (close to the bathroom) with a thin fleece blanket and the ceiling fan on.  Will we ever be able to sleep in the same bed again?!  Dang hot flashes.

I have felt great today, tired but great.  As soon as my sister got here (9:30 a.m.) I laid down to take a nap.  How pitiful!  We went to lunch, though, and it was a good day otherwise.  I am still so tired all the time.  Mat has long rehearsals everyday this week.  The musical (Hello Dolly) opens next Thursday, closing night is the following Monday.  Next week may be a little scary for me.  I have my treatment on Monday and I'll need lots of help to get through it.

I have developed painful mouth sores in the last couple of days.  That is one of the side effects of chemo, but I've been so diligent about taking the Lysine!  I guess as the chemicals build up in your body, more is necessary to keep them from coming.  I'll call tomorrow to find out what I need to do.  I can't eat anything without agitating them and making them bigger.
