Well, you can tell I haven't been knocked down much for long. During the throat cancer chemo, I would almost crawl to make a post. This one takes its toll but nothing like before and I have kept my hair this time, or at least what isn't relocating.
Saturday me and Denise went everywhere despite Denise's warnings that I could get exposed to something and I would pay for this day. We ate at Tx Roadhouse early, before it got crowded. I had a voucher for a free meal and another one for a free Blooming Cactus, plus we had a gift card. Basically, we ate for free. That was the best ribs I have ever had. We went to Lodge cast Iron store in Sevierville and yes, I bought a skillet. Bass Pro to take back some overpriced under quality pants and swapped for some decent made cheaper pants. The aftermath of chemo usually hits Saturday and Sunday but this time it was Sunday. I slept most of the day and again on Monday, about the same. Today is Tuesday and I have not been able to build any strength up so I am moving slow.
I got a bill from the ones that did the biopsies and read online to ask the Insurance company what if anything I owe. The bill said 1984.00 but when I called the girl on the phone said 500.00 something. Humana said I owed nothing and if there were any questions they could call and talk to them. The lady on the phone said to ignore the bill and she would have to send it up the channels and let them figure it out. That is something worth remembering. How many people just pay or set up payments without questioning if they owe it.
There are fatigue and a dead ache that is always here now, but still nothing like I expected, but enough so as to slow and even stop you in your tracks. Sharpe pain when eating anything that isn't room temperature and eating slowly. That said, I only lost one pound. This is the part that makes you want to scream. Too tired to do much yet too bored to just sit. The bleeding is as it was, heavy most days. I think he screwed something up with the biopsy.
