Great news: I tried a chocolate covered macadamia nut and it tasted awful! Chocolate no longer tastes good.. Hope it is permanent condition. See, there are some good things about chemo. Then there is the freedom from hair which makes life much easier. That is if you can remember where you left your hair,(wig) when company comes. Then there is the freedom from any kind of obligations because you are in an isolated state- Jake calls it my "man cave". You can lie in bed all day. And that is so much fun. Not! Then there's the cleanliness issue. Never have my door knobs. sink fixtures, cabinet tops, etc. been so germ free. Then there is the "no one should touch you rule" which certainly keeps you from getting germs from hugs. Not to mention you get more sleep because your eyelids stick to your eyeballs and each other because your eyes are so dry. Then there is the not having to practice the piano for long periods of time because after fifteen minutes the notes and lines become so blurred you can't tell the notes from the lines. At the end of the day you have to find those positive blessing of chemo!! I'm feeling good and am grateful for each fairly normal day. Wonderful visitors in the morning made the day pass quickly - after all, how much disinfecting can you do in a day.
