10-12-10 - Ten to go!

Hello all,

I don't have much new to report - I do miss my sense of taste. Every night, I dream about food - cakes with lots of icing, blueberry muffins, juicy strawberries, ham sandwiches.... I have no idea why ham sandwiches, but they were there - honest.   Today the doc said my ability to taste would be back a month or a little more after finishing treatment - so it may be a very yummy Thanksgiving! If not, it will be a delicious Christmas. 

He was very happy that my mouth and throat was not terribly sore, and he doesn't expect it to get much worse. I am still eating mostly normally.  (yay!)

I very tired of being tired. I am sleeping about 10 hrs a night, and I am still tired a lot.  I have been sleeping in, and going to work late a couple of mornings a week.  The folks at work are so understanding!

I think that is all the updates for now.

As I write this you have 5 more radiation
treatments to go. Hopefully after that
we will see if we cant start coaxing those
taste buds back into service, and you can see
about getting back to a normal life.

Thank you so much for these blog entries.
It is very kind of you to allow us
this private glimpse into your life
as you are fighting this battle.

Your comments help us understand the
battle you are fighting. The
humor, compassion, and bravery you are
showing to us as you go through your
journey are an inspiration.

Luv,
Dad
